Perhaps measuring animal intelligence by comparing it to hum

Summary

This quote suggests that using human intelligence as a benchmark to gauge animal intelligence may not be the most accurate method. It points out the limitations of such a comparison, implying that animals should be evaluated on their own cognitive abilities rather than being solely compared to humans. This viewpoint challenges the notion that human intelligence is the standard against which all other forms of intelligence should be measured, encouraging a more nuanced appreciation of animals' unique cognitive traits.
