If we look at the octopus, we see an even more incredible brain system
The octopus changes skin texture as well as color in nanoseconds/ The ability to compute such change with astounding accuracy requires more brain than humans have. The octopus is one large brain with each tentacle rerpresentative of the brain itself. The brain senses all around the animal and interprets the environment.

Well as Brian Cox explains, we are the only one interpreting the data utilizing our own reality. So we are not able to say we have evolved the furthest regarding intelligence. Quantum spookieness exist when we are not looking but as we look to measure, or stop time to measure a specific point in time, we do not see the things we cannot. Thanks to the computer we can now interpret what we may see with more senses turned on.

I've always liked Prof. Brian Cox. He has a way of explaining very complex concepts in a way that someone who hasn't been formally educated in that field can understand, at least on a 'working' level. He seems to be very charismatic and a great embasador to help 'speard the word' of science.

I find the comparisons between hominid and other species to be fascinating in this area. We share similar frontal cortex communication center structures with some other fauna such as elephants, orca, dolphins, corvid (crows, ravens, jays, magpies). As a result those animals share certain behaviors with us that we generally classify as typically "human". Most of these behaviors focus around empathy and social structure. They organize themselves into groups that follow the "golden rule" and they mourn their losses. Crows, elephants, and orca have been seen performing types of ceremonies acknowledging their dead. Funerals. I have watched one of them myself among a murder of crows in my neighborhood. It makes me wonder if certain environmental factors that drove us to increased intelligence will affect these creasures as well in the future if their species survives.

BahHumbug! Dolphin brains are far more physically complex and larger, thanours

Yeah, it is almost inconceivable.

From a single-celled organism, a machine formed organically that keeps itself alive for up to 110 or so years by avoiding the dangers of being eaten or of diseases, and keeps the possibility of it living longer and in ever more dangerous situations by allowing it to store even more information and learn from them, all incased in a water-tight container that is neither too rigid nor too soft to allow it to adopt to it's environments.

Trump makes me question the science.

and it is also the reason we will become extinct
