With all due respect, the video is titled "How numeracy evolved". It highlights animal experiments that show that animals have variable capacities to identify differences in magnitudes, but this is ultimately descriptive research, not explanatory of HOW numeracy evolved. Bees make honeycombs with hexagonal chambers, does this mean they know how to count to 6 or what 6 "is"? And what is the biochemical mechanism of the evolution of greater numeracy. This title is a non sequitur to the video.

I´m really impressed,I don´t feel different from other animals anymore...it´s just great.

because the monkey is aware that the beeps sound the biggest number of times of all

Who "decided" dolphins are stupid?
They have very high brain-to-body mass ratio, and are behavourially smart and humourous. Any marine biologist will agree with that.

I thought it was decided a while ago that dolphins are actuality totally stupid.
In any case if they were "smarter then us" we would definitely know by now.

I am sure there are scientists who think that way although I haven't heard of many of them. I love science and each new thing that I have learned about nature has only left me that much more enthralled by the wonderful world around us.

We always think that humans are the smartest and greatest ones on the Earth, all other animals are dumb and mindless. But this human-centered mind has to be changed.
Now scientists are doing experiments to explore animal intelligence. Even some animals (e.g. dolphins) might be smarter then us.
