@ix_silver: When will we learn to communicate with them?
A lot depends on the sensory I/O, which can contextually define intelligence.
For example, a dog can detect identical twin humans by smell alone. Much of a dog’s brain is devoted to nasal memory (related to their sensory input – a nose close to the ground), so even their “memories" would be difficult for us to relate to, not to mention any higher-order constructs.
I am not too excited about the fish given their short-term memory (think Dora). But the dolphins… they thank us for all the fish…
“Dolphins have a massive new brain area, the paralimbic lobe, that we do not possess. The paralimbic lobe is an outgrowth of the cingulate gyrus, which is known to elaborate social communication and social emotions in all other mammals. Thus, dolphins may have social thoughts and feelings that we can only vaguely imagine.” (Mind Wide Open, p.225.)
