Why are there no other creatures on Earth even remotely close to the intelligence of human beings?

People who think humans are the "most intelligent" creatures on Earth are the problem with the Earth today.

No life is "more intelligent" than another. You are no smarter than the bacteria that has lived since the dawn of time. Look at what other life has accomplished and tell me that humans are the most intelligent. I understand from a social and cultural point of view how most humans have taken the bait that we are more intelligent -- it frees us from guilt for what we do to the rest of life on this planet; but please, at the very least research in depth what you are talking about before promoting propaganda.

Humans = not so intelligent. however, we are unique in our externalization of imagination. that is not a measure of intelligence, it is just a uniqueness of expression. We are different - not more intelligent.

FWIW, If anything viruses are the most intelligent life forms (though by biological definition they are not really "alive")

I never said that humans are better than anything else on Earth, cause obviously we're not. That's not the point. We are the dominate species on this planet, for better or worse, because of our intelligence. That is a fact.

We dominate all other creatures for better or worse. This isn't something to be proud of, its just the way it is. Human beings have capabilities that no other creature has ever demonstrated in real practice EVER! Our intelligence allows us to look at things outside of ourselves and go far beyond basic instinct which is what all other creatures rely solely on.

Our intelligence (not wisdom, not instinct) is unique on this planet. No other creature can remotely come close to it. Period.

our closest relatives the monkeys and gorillas
aren't too bright, true.
scientist say it has to do with brain size,
but i think there's a lot more to it than that.

Humans Intelligent?? You are kidding me. Have a look around you. Our world is slowly dying because of humans. What intelligent creature would allow that to happen?

Why are humans so ignorant, they think they are so supreme?

I've always wondered this? There is no other creature on Earth even remotely close to human intelligence. If you say dolphins are, you're wrong. They are smart but are unable to match what human beings are capable of accomplishing. Has there been anything on Earth as intelligent as human beings? Were we bred this way? Are we even from here?

Human beings are definitely the strangest creature on Earth.
