Researchers from the University of Adelaide in Australia argue in an upcoming book, The Dynamic Human, that humans really aren't much smarter than other creatures - and that some animals may actually be brighter than we are.

The book's co-author Dr. Arthur Saniotis says: 'For millennia, all kinds of authorities have been repeating the same idea ad nauseam, that humans are exceptional by virtue that they are the smartest in the animal kingdom. However, science tells us that animals can have cognitive faculties that are superior to human beings.'
