We may have the most complex, but crows, various sea mammals and other animals do have language in some form. Dogs also understand some language but that's because of us. Which leads me to my real answer: domestication of dogs. They're the best. We don't even deserve them. Sorry @Mini_Ghost Cats are cooler though. Edited November 13, 2018 by KimopoBotar 1

Are other animals able to do even basic mathematics and inflect their speech to the point where abstract thoughts can be conferred, thus building societies with rules and advances in technology like humans? No. Edited November 13, 2018 by bnmjy

Sorry @Mini_Ghost Cats are cooler though. we didn't even domesticate cats, not really, they domesticated themselves from the mutual benefits of them killing rats and things. and I'd agree with your statement 1

Cats where just kinda like "we live here now, go about your lives, we'll keep disease carrying stuff away but that's it" and Egyptians were like "whoa, Frank got a cat and his kid didn't get the plague! Cats must be gods!" Or something like that. 2

Bouvre Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Whoever is considered the primary authority/scholar on James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake. Edit: For some reason I read this as greatest achievement BY a human, so I'll have to return to this question. It might just still be the greatest human achievement to read through it and say you understand it. Edited November 13, 2018 by Bouvre 2
