Having evolved "further" does not necessarily imply having
developed more "intelligence" (whatever *that* is). Some (literally)
brainless parasites are highly developed "higher" animals. They've just
developed along a developmental arc that doesn't involve having brains,
so they've lost theirs.

it's a very bit subject
which I've studied for many years.

Big subject indeed. Fascinating animals.
