Brains are weird.

Yes and they are extremely flawed too.
The only reason we think we are smart, is that every other life-form we know of is even stupider.

    To be fair, we’re the ones who makes the definition and therefore can make them fit our, in many cases, fragile ego. We’re only the most intelligent animal because our definition of intelligence is based on our self.

    True, luckily many modern researchers are less biased. A lot of the bias is from religions, that claim that humans are special.
    From modern research we now know that we are not special in many many aspects. Apart from being a bit more intelligent, we are clearly the same in more ways than we are different.
