Are Humans Superior to Other Animals? A Comparison of Neural and Behavioral Complexity

Humans are animals. We are made of flesh and blood, specifically, we are primates known as Homo sapiens [1]. But we are superior to other animals, right? People routinely state humans are superior to other animals; We are able to bend the environment to our will, making almost any environment habitable, create incredible tools, and even send a man to the moon [2]. To discuss superiority, I will use neural and behavioral complexity, which entails a brain's ability to intake and process information and execute through intricate behaviors via segregation and integration across brain regions [3,4]
