So foxes really are dog hardware running on cat software? Lol

In the context of EQ, nah. Cats are less intelligent than dogs. Although maybe they're cat software which has been heavily modified with graphic enhancements and code corrections?

Canines are the best of both worlds, intelligence and sex appeal! ?

That’s a human test for intelligence, of course we are going to score high lol. In some aspects we are basically disabled when trying to compare ourselves to animals

Not exactly, no. Encephalization Quotient (EQ) simply measures brain mass versus body mass. The higher the brain size is compared to the mass of the body, the higher the intelligence tends to be with a given species. But there are exceptions to the rule as well, for example pigs are at an EQ of 0.38, however they are generally regarded to be as intelligent or even slightly moreso than dogs which are at 1.2. The reason why our EQ is so high is because we have massive brains when compared to the size of our body.

It's a slightly flawed system as well (seen from my pig example.) But it is good for "generally" gauging the overall intelligence of a species when it comes to logic/deduction/reasoning between one another. Beluga whales have much larger brains than ours, but their body is also much MUCH larger than ours as well. As such, their ability for logic/deduction/reasoning is generally less advanced than ours despite having a larger brain. But we are simply animals as well. The main thing that separates us is our development of the FOXP2 gene, and our absurdly large pre-frontal cortex. Besides that, we are as much of an animal as any other animal.

Of course it's the FOX gene lol. The count is educational tonight.

That's probably what happened to those people that reply to zoo women with "OMG dat hot. Yummy! Wanna DM? ?"

Indeed, science is fascinating to me! The FOXP2 gene has to do with the development of our vocal cords which allowed us to develop complex speech and language. Many other animals have developed similar genetic mutations, but when it comes to humans in correlation with our EQ, it worked to develop into one of the most complex language systems. But just because one can talk, doesn't necessarily mean that said person has anything intelligent to say. Lol. It's also a shame that more often than not, humans are a pest species. Lol
