Every species has its own particular adaptation. Intelligence is a specialty of H. sapiens. Note that there are a few other species which have a nearly human level of intelligence, such as the various species of great apes, the elephant, and possibly the dolphin. Even the octopus, an invertebrate, is remarkably intelligent. So, although it is true that our species is the most intelligent species on Earth as far as we know, intelligence is not a uniquely human attribute. We just have slightly more.
