Your assuming however that the genetics have evolved enough to allow for development of higher animal intelligence. I met many poeple, some related to me, that act more on animal instinct with blatent disregard for intelligence. They act more like 13 and 14 year olds with the demonstrated IQ of a 5 or 6 year old.
Genetics does play a part here in that genetically they are low brow morons who are too ill equiped mentally to understand the concept of learning to act based upon intelligence rather than instinct.
