Re: NYX: Are humans smarter than other animals? It depends...

I think you first have to define smart. My dogs just don't understand Einsteins theory of relativity no matter how much I try to explain to them, but then I cant find a pheasant hidden in deep cover, I know adults who find it hard to string together a cohesive sentence that doesn't include expletives and I see a guide dog taking its owner through a busy town centre. What's smart ??
