    Intelligence and Cunning are two different things.

    If I’m walking through the woods and I’m being stalked by a predator the fact that it cant do long division doesnt matter for shit.

      I mean, depending on the predator it can probably divide you lengthwise. Does that count?

      Humans became the dominant species on the planet because we learned how to throw rocks. That was our big innovation. Our intelligence is an entirely incidental byproduct of learning how to throw rocks.

      In fact we are way more intelligent is these efficient, so these people are simply more correctly synced up to the actual intelligence that is necessary to survive.
