    2:32. You are wrong, humans can use echolocation.

    Google "Human Echolocation" or go to wikipedia /wiki/Human_echolocation

    I think the dolphins being aquatic and having a different body type might be significant.

    I've never heard the monkey one.

    I think the lemming suicide myth originated from the inaccurate Disney film White Wilderness.

    However, they do get killed when they get pushed over the edges of cliffs by other lemmings...so maybe it's a fact that got elaborated?

    Not necessarily. I'm sure the lack of thumbs, being confined to water, and the general peaceful, non-territorial nature of dolphins has something to do with them not being the dominant species.

    Lemmigs are supposedly suicidal because Walt Disney made a documentary about them and for amusement reasons, he decided to literally catapult a dozen of them off cliffs in England.

    being smarter will not make you the dominant species, the same way being strong doesn't. being the best adapted to the environment does.
