Question: Do you think any animals will ever be as intelligent as humans?

Not while humans are still around – we’ve got quite a big headstart and have taken over the world pretty much (unless i suppose, we cheated using gene therapy or something else sci fi like! but we certainly can’t do anything like that now)… but if something happened that made humans go extinct then another animal might eventually evolve to be as intelligent as we are (and more so) but it would take thousands and thousands of years…
