Given the seeming intelligence of cetaceans, people are always
tempted
to compare them with humans and other animals. Studies on discrimination and problem-solving skills in the bottlenose dolphin, for instance, have concluded that its intelligence lies
"somewhere between that of a dog and a chimpanzee."
Such comparisons are unfair. It is important to realize that intelligence is a very human concept and that we evaluate it in human terms. After all, not many people would consider themselves stupid because they couldn’t locate and identify a fish by its echo. Why should we judge cetaceans by their ability to solve human problems?
According to the passage, why are the studies that conclude that dolphin intelligence is "
’somewhere between that of a dog and a chimpanzee’
" not correct?
选项
A、The human method of drawing comparisons is not relevant to animal intelligence.
B、Dolphins have actually been shown to be much more intelligent than chimpanzees.
C、The studies were not conducted according to standard research methods.
D、Dolphins do not typically demonstrate conditioned responses for humans to observe.
