Question

Who has the closest brain to a human?

Answer 1

Women.

Almost. Not quite.

Answer 2

George Bush

Answer 3

Chimpanzee

Answer 4

Structure = chimpanzee

Brain to body proportion = dolphin

Answer 5

A Chimpanzee of the monkey decent

Answer 6

An English Walnut.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums.  Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Answer 7

a dolphin

Answer 8

monkeys i guess ......they're our closest relitaves we were monkeys before we evolved

Answer 9

Its a toss up between my Boss and Bush 43

Answer 10

Brain size



When comparing different species the ratio of brain weight to body weight does present a correlation with intelligence, though the actual brain weight has little or no effect. For example, the ratio of brain weight to body weight for fish is 1:5000; for reptiles it is about 1:1500; for birds, 1:220; for most mammals, 1:180, and for humans, 1:50.

Humans have an exceptionally big brain relative to their body size. Although humans weigh about 20 percent more than chimpanzees, our closest relative, the human brain weighs 250 percent more.

Answer 16

1. Great apes

Language once was thought to be limited to people. "All the great apes [in captivity] -- which include chimpanzees, bonobos (pygmy chimpanzees), gorillas and orangutans -- have learned American Sign Language," Goodall says. What's more, each kind of ape has taught ASL to others of their own kind.

"Great apes can use computers," she says. "There's a chimpanzee in Japan who's hooked on her computer like kids are hooked on video games. She's learned to solve complex problems. For example, she can replicate a set of numbers on the computer after the screen goes dead. To watch her is amazing. Her mind is clearly working the same way as ours, but actually much, much faster.

"Maybe chimps are a little too much like us; look at them, and we look into a mirror. The reflection isn't always flattering. They live in a society where power is rewarding for its own sake. They also have wars over territory."

2. Whales and Dolphins



It was once assumed that only humans could communicate with others they can't see, but it turns out dolphins and whales (and elephants, too) have their own versions of telephone and e-mail. Whales and dolphins use high frequencies to communicate over long distances. In fact, they seem to have a need to "talk." Goodall says: "We're only starting to understand what it is they're saying to one another. I believe when we ultimately learn what they're talking about, it will be quite revealing."

3. Elephants



They use very low frequencies to communicate over great distances. "Elephants establish long-term friendships and recognize these individuals years later," Goodall says. "We all know elephants remember." They also have "extraordinary empathy and compassion," she says, explaining how elephants sometimes even "bury" their dead. "When elephants come across a dead companion they recognize, they may outwardly grieve."

4. Parrots

"I know a parrot in New York called N'kisi (a Congo African Gray parrot) who knows 971 words. He isn't counted as having a new word until he's used it at least five times in a proper context. In other words, if he just repeats a word, that doesn't count. Before I met N'kisi, his owner, Aimee, was showing him pictures of me and chimps. When I walked into the room, he asked, 'Got a chimp?' Aimee broke a necklace, and he said, 'What a pity. You broke your new, nice necklace.' He uses grammar and initiates conversation (all skills once reserved for people). This bird even has a Web site [sheldrake.org/nkisi]. I don't think he's an exceptionally brilliant parrot; I do think we're only starting to understand how smart they are."

5. Dogs & Cats

"They're as different as chimps and gorillas, and the age-old question about which are smarter I won't tackle," Goodall says. "Dogs have always been a part of my life and opened my eyes to animal intelligence. The stories of how devoted dogs are to people are legendary, but this is a choice they freely make. Dogs and cats are so perceptive -- much more than people are. They know what their people are thinking; they're always a step ahead of us."

Answer 17

The chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes.

Answer 18

Chimpanzee.

Answer 19

A robot. Artificial intelligance is highly complexe.

If you're talking as in animals, probably a chimpanzee, dolphin, elephant, maybe a bird? Or a dog, they're easy to train?

Answer 20

Optimus Prime

Answer 21

The common garden gnome

Answer 22

Chimps and gorillas have similar brains.

Answer 23

neanderthal
