Intelligence is relative. We can only judge intelligence in human terms. When one looks at the highest human intelligence, all acknowledge that they know nothing. (Socrates: all I know is that I don't know, Edison: we don't know one millionth of one percent about anything). Based on that, I'd say that it's a pretty good sign of intelligence, regardless of what you measure it against.

The mere fact you are questioning the human race is a trait of intellectual curiosity. You are doubting the existence intelligence on earth, meaning you seek the truth behind something that may not be there.

Firstly, you have to define intellegence (and spell it!). There are at least 7 types-emotional, numeric, musical, spatial intra and inter personal etc etc etc. The wider the defenition, the more possibilities and the more inclusive it becomes. You can only prove its existence when you have defined it.

Why do we have to prove it? Who really knows what intelligence is. Compared to turtles, perhaps we could say we are intelligent. Yet compared to God, what can we say?

Intellect is the ability to learn and reason; the capacity for knowledge and understanding.

Are you including us in this question? If so, how do you know you are intelligent? And if you are, can you prove it?
