Extensive research, carried out on dolphins has indicated that bottlenose dolphins have the ability of self awareness, a trait considered being a sign of highly developed abstract thinking. This ability was discovered in dolphins when they were able to recognize themselves in front of a mirror. This behavior has been seen only in human beings and great apes. Dolphins also showed a lot of interest in television, unlike other animals, when they were exposed to images in the television.

Sure, dolphins do not make WMDs that threaten the world. They don't create technology that they really don't need either. That doesn't mean they are dumb though. I am sure they are not caught up in consumerism either.

Maybe one of these days humans will evolve to be as intelligent as dolphins.
