“Using fossilised T. rex skulls, researchers estimate that they had the largest brains of any dinosaur”
Just because they don’t talk, get around on two legs or use a smartphone, doesn’t necessarily make an animal much dumber than you. And just because someone is very old or very young, it doesn’t mean they won’t be able to outsmart you. In this issue, we explore the intelligence of different animal species, including humans, and how scientists have found a rough but reasonably accurate way of measuring brainpower in the animal kingdom, right back to the era of the dinosaurs. You’ll be surprised at how brainy some animals are. You can also go head-to-head against How It Works in our intelligence test, to see how you fare against the team. Enjoy!
