Well, anthropologists who study primate behavior have noted that REAL intelligence is first demonstrated in Chimps and children at the age in which they learn to deceive. Chimps learn it earlier than humans, but we get to be much better at it in the end!!!
Hmmm, that is an interesting point. I am not certain that it is real intelligence that is demonstrated at such time. Certainly, it is a form of intelligence, but I believe that real intelligence is demonstrated when a being realizes that truth is the only thing that matters.
Everything else is but an illusion, and simply is not there.
