Are humans smarter than animals?

There is no evidence for this. Only one thing is obvious: people speak the language and exchange information. This is not a sign of intelligence, for example, computers can do this, and much more efficiently.

Involvement in the information environment and herding usually indicates low intelligence: this is a lack of critical thinking, easy suggestibility, stereotyped and imitation. As a rule, this is characteristic of an autistic mindset with a low IQ.

Let's ask some of our former astronauts if they witnessed any evidence of animals visiting the moon?

For example, several thousand years have passed since the moment when a person was unarmed and until the moment he began to use stones. Firstly, this happened due to the peculiarities of anatomy, upright walking, and secondly, out of a million people, only one or a few began to do this, and the rest simply adopted the method, that is, imitated. And this was already a man of the modern type.

I can absolutely say for sure that animals were sent into space even before Gagarin was sent there.

In general, your judgment is just evidence of the stupidity of man. Here is the logic: if a modern-day sick with dementia man weared panties and mastered an iPhone, and Julius Caesar did not have an iPhone, then the degenerate is smarter than Julius Caesar.

And in general, it is clear that with the division of labor and the formation of the left system, society becomes stronger, and even more technologically advanced, but this goes against the individual development of the conditional "middle class". The operator of the CNC lathe does not have the skill that the general-purpose has, but this loss of skill leads to progress in the left sense.

The modern Chinese who manually assembles telephone devices can claim to be more advanced than Edison because the microprocessors he uses in assembling are more technological products than the telegraph.

I'd say some are and some ain't. In the event of a cataclysm, I'd bet at least half the world population dies off. Them used to a primitive lifestyle will see little change, while them used to modern living will either have to adapt (and be fast learners), or perish. Animals will just continue doing what they do...it could even make life easier with plenty of helpless yuppies to prey upon.

Computers can only do what their human creators programmed them to do. Humans penchant for observation of cause, and effect; and therefore predictive outcome is the key to our species success. And in that area we excel well beyond any known species.
