I think it's implied by evolution that the difference between humans
and other higher mammals as far as absolute intellectual ability can
be traced back to small, specific differences between us and
chimpanzees, and somewhat larger differences from other apes,
continuing on to large differences from bats, dolphins, cats, and
dogs. Have there been a lot of inquiries into this question? I would
figure it would be one of the more fruitful methods of gaining an
understanding of human intelligence.
