@patriciajhawkins This is a vast question, but on the whole I don't think we are very intelligent. In the lapse of a geological sneeze, we have managed to make our environment much worse four ourselves than how we found it, and that's even going into the massive economic inequalities that makes the wants of the few fulfilled by the misery of many.

We are able to reason, mostly to reason away structural problems, but intelligent? Doubtful.
