So crows on average weigh around one pound but have the intelligence comparable to a 7 year old. This is despite their brains weighing only 8 grams compared to the human brain being ~1300 grams or 3 pounds. Which got me thinking proportionally speaking are crows the most intelligent species of planet Earth? or does that title go to the ant or some other small insects
are crows the most intelligent species proportionally to their bodyweight?

My favorite kind of question, can’t wait for someone to share the answer
At least I know how to get a job and buy bird seed, checkmate atheist crow
idk, some bacteria might be the smartest proportional to its body weight
Parrots, ants and bees (swarm intelligence) are up there as well
Maybe bees or ants. It’s hard to measure though. They’re each adapted to their environments, so it depends on your metrics to measure intelligence
