      Hi @ruthenium
      I have heard that dolphins are really intelligent, but I don’t know whether they are more intelligent than humans?

      So I don’t think I can answer this question.

      Do you think they’re clever than humans? If so, what about them makes them cleverer?

    Congratulations on winning, I have been voting every session for you. I think that dolphins are born intelligent because they are born with a sense of direction and knowledge of where and how to catch prey, unlike us who are taught how do almost everything.

    Hi @ruthenium
    Thank you SO MUCH for voting for me, it really means a lot to me 🙂
    I see what you mean about why dolphins are intelligent, and although I agree with you that we have to be taught things, we are able to reach a much higher level of intelligence, and at some point we must have learnt how to teach our offspring things, which maybe is even more of a skill. What do you think?
