Animals are smart in their own way for their species. Dolphins, for example, are highly intelligent. I am amazed when I hear of dogs saving their masters or family members from drowning or burning buildings. This happens quite often. They can sense danger. However I dont think we are stupid. We have done great things and are evolving. Some are evolving slower than others though, of course. That is going to happen because there are so many varied humans in the world, and its about choices, choosing to be good people of spirit or not, and what we do with that in our actions toward others, human and animal alike.
