Intelligence is one of the capabilities that can lead to the survival of a species. When a species is under stress from environmental changes, one of the adaptations that can occur is the development of greater intelligence in members of the species. This occurred with our hominid ancestors, who adapted by becoming the most intelligent species on the planet.

If a higher level of intelligence would allow members of our species to survive or at least increase their ability to pass on their genes to succeeding generations, then no doubt evolution will result in greater intelligence.

However, intelligence is only one of the capabilities that can lead to the survival of a species and is not pre-ordained. If survival is assured without an increase in the intelligence of the members of a species, then that overall increase is not likely to happen. Intelligence is not built in.
