  One day people may find their dog doing advanced math in the sofa trying to figure it out how to best catch the morning newspaper.
  
  What would happen if another species started approaching human intelligence?
  
  Will some people accept that we are not the only ones capable of reasoning? or will we try to erase those other species?

  Cephalopods Are Smart ...

  ... and smartest of them all is the octopus. It can figure out how to undo a screw-top jar.

  Re: Cephalopods Are Smart ...

  I still think dolphins are smarter(Life Bottlenose dolphins mud-ring feeding), but crows can use vending machines to get food and they learn how to use it by themselves(Joshua Klein on TED), also some gorillas can speak with humans using sign language(Koko the gorilla).

  But Jumbo Squids are just so cute.

  Not smart enough to avoid being eaten by killer whales.
  
  Let’s face it, in terms of animal intelligence, cetaceans are the liberal-arts majors of the animal world.

  but humans are no smarter - since we occasionally get eaten by polar bears, tigers etc.
  
  
  and remember the dolphins did escape the Vogons
  
  so long and thanks for all the fish!

  So apparently, according to some scientists, rocks used to bang shellfish against, by the fish trying to eat it, DO NOT count as tools because the rock is still mounted on the ground.
  
  We have just discovered anvils are not tools by studying fish!!!!! How cool is that?
