Did we really need to evolve intelligence high enough to populate the whole planet, and milk it for all its resources? I can't imagine competition was that tough millions of years ago among great apes.

Life needs to survive in order to continue to exist, so I'd say it's based on needs.

Humans aren't competing just with great apes. We are competing with every animal we interact with.

Also I would say that intelligence is the opposite of a niche (what is a word that is opposite of niche anyway??) and that non intelligence based are actually niche.

Has nothing to do with needs

if evolution is real then why have no other animals evolved to the level we're at?

it's like life is an RTS game and humans are already in the modern age.

They kinda did (other Homo species). We just outsurvived and outfucked them.

So instead of doing something about it yourself, you resort to complaining about it.

there could be animals that are as smart/smarter than us and therefore know to not reveal their intelligence to us lest we murder them to protect our hegemony or there could be animals as smart/smarter than us that haven't developed the non biological aspects of existence to be competitive. Discovery and invention doesn't happen quickly--AT ALL.

It's not about needs, it's about who gets to have kids.

Because that's not how evolution works. There are no levels of evolution no species is more evolved then the other.

It should be noted that it took us a long, long time to capitalize on our larger brain capacity, and the driving force wasn't necessarily biology. For the vast majority of our time on Earth, homo sapiens didn't dominate the planet.

You should know, seeing how critical you are of 'our' intelligence.
