There is no species smarter then the human being. We have a developed means of communication that beats even the whales etc. We are the dominate species we are on top of the food chain yet physically we are quite weak within the mammal species. We use our brains to do more then any other animals do with their physical adavantages. Ie we can engineer, build, operate to save lifes, we have created drugs that have lenghtened our lifes and a way to preserve, cook, grow food that enables us to not rely on nature for food.

There are many other things that humans can do that animals can not.

A two year old child in many ways is smarter then a mature primate cousin.

So far, none of the known animals on Earth are as intelligent or more intelligent than us humans. But probably in the future there might be a species that might be more advanced and smarter than humans and overtake us. Probably throught genetic engineering or some kind of evolution. Or maybe an invasion by extraterrestrials. But in terms of mammalian species, so far none are that much intelligent even though they are the most intelligent on the planet

I believe your question is, as far as brain capacity as relating to body mass, what is the most intelligent species?

Currently, there is no species more intelligent than humans (to our knowledge). Before they were wiped out, Neanderthals had 200 cc more brain space in comparison to modern humans. I believe they are the most "intelligent" example of life form to date.

The human brain is the most complex thing in the known Universe so-no.

Well, I would say the chimpanzees be the first top smartest animal as side from humans. Because you can't really say what animal is smarter than us, because look at technology and how far advance we are. Hope that solved something. :)

There are none if we take the overall growth and potential for development, but Dolphin's come very close to Human's in their potential for Intelligence, but again Human's are also among those foolish species who can kill themselves and also can plot to kill the whole species, yes we are smarter in a very wicked way and also smarter in some unique ways.

A brain like ours does not exist in the kingdom animal

The great ape does a better job raising children, ants work together better, etc...

We likely have the most developed system of communication and we are physioligically able to perform complex tasks better, but we do really stupid things on a regular basis.

Ask yourself this question: Is there any species, besides man, that's likely to put an end to all life on planet Earth?

Conclusion: All species are smarter than humans! :)

what do you mean by smarter
quicker thinker
more dexterous
have a better memory ?
more brains ?
do you mean packed tighter ?

to generalise, none, we are far far advanced to any species
we have complex speech
emotional relationships
problem solving skills extraodinaire
complex communications
were self aware in a way like no other

you dont see monkeys or dolphins doing crossword puzzles or theorising what a black hole is do you, or a pig looking in a mirror saying hey its me, i need to go on a diet

I think dolphins, some whales, and some monkeys/chimps/apes etc are considered pretty smart. I think all living things have their strengths and weaknesses. Honestly I don't think there is one that would be better or smarter then the other in every way.
