No, being the "highest" of animals does not correlate with having the most chromosomes. Chromosome numbers vary widely across species, and some simpler organisms can have more chromosomes than humans. For example, the fern Ophioglossum reticulatum has one of the highest known chromosome counts, with over 1,440 chromosomes. Human beings have 46 chromosomes, which is relatively common among mammals.
