问HN：黑猩猩比人类聪明吗？
我怎么能提出这样的想法呢？<p>原因如下：<p>1) 黑猩猩能够理解人类语言，但人类却无法理解黑猩猩的语言。<p>2) 黑猩猩拥有惊人的视觉记忆： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsXP8qeFF6A<p>它们缺乏“人类式的世界征服”或许可以用其他因素来解释，而不仅仅是智力的差异：缺乏书写符号系统；可能在精细运动技能上灵活性较差；因原始部落主义而在“社会/道德”上受到限制，无法进行明智的合作。<p>我觉得我们在某些缺陷上有相似之处，但如果人类在地球表面的“主导地位”仅仅归因于：稍微灵活一些的手指动作；书写；改进的社交算法，而黑猩猩（或虎鲸、海豚）实际上在智力上平均要“聪明得多”，那将是多么有趣和讽刺的事情啊。

How can I suggest such a thing?<p>For these reasons:<p>1) Chimps can speak human, but humans cannot speak chimp.<p>2) Chimps have incredible visual memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsXP8qeFF6A<p>Their lack of "human-like world conquering" could perhaps be explained by other factors besides raw intelligence: missing written symbol system; possibly less dexterity for fine motor skills; "socially/morally crippled" by primitive tribalism over judicious cooperation<p>It strikes me we share some of the same flaws, but it would truly be funny and ironic if humanit's apparent "dominance" over Earth's surface were down to nothing more than: slightly more dextrous finger movements; writing; improved social algorithms - but that chimps (or orcas, or dolphins) were in fact far "smarter" than us, on average.
