People are not the smartest creatures on Earth, scientists say, and that some species of animals, in their own way, are more intelligent - for example dolphins.

Killer whales have a complex language to communicate , and dolphins give each other the names that are based on the sound signal. This means that dolphins are finding themselves and others, say the scientists .
For thousands of years, various experts , from religious leaders to scientists , saying that people are “special and the brightest ” , but science shows that some animals have the cognitive skills that more  superior human beings .
Researchers from the University of Adelaide once confirmed this thesis , a intelligence research and the evolution of primate brain supports the hypothesis that people are not the smartest creatures on Earth .
Scientists remind us that Aristotle , one of the greatest thinkers , argued that humans are superior to other animals because of their reasoning skills . But the reasoning is only one form of intelligence . The fact is that people do not understand the animals and they do not understand people , but that does not mean that their intelligence at different levels , but only that – a different kind.
People have a cumulative culture , which allows them to perform many of the actions that other animals can not do . However , this does not mean that the individuals of the human race superior to other beings.
” Monkeys are built in such a way that they do not need a house , people have evolved in an environment where you do not have to hand catch fish , but the Bears have , and they do it better than men ,” the researchers said.
