    IQ by country.

    Disclaimer: IQ isn't an exact measure of intelligence and is, at best, only vaguely valid, if at all, for comparing species such as apes and humans, but the exercise is interesting.

    Gorilla’s IQ Is Greater Than Average Somalian Migrant
    Koko, a lowland gorilla born in 1971, is currently the most language-proficient nonhuman, according to the Gorilla Foundation, which teaches ASL to gorillas.

    The gorilla has a vocabulary of more than a thousand signs, understands about 2,000 words of spoken English, and initiates most conversations with people, according to the foundation’s website.

    Her IQ is between 70 and 95 on a human scale—100 is considered a “normal” human IQ.

    They misnamed her. It should have been Hawkings. I believe this gorilla to be a freak of nature and just as humanity has its super geniuses so does the animal world. And I don't believe for a minute a lowland gorilla is smarter than an Somalia immigrant. A Democrat maybe.

    No amount of intelligence will equal an ounce of common sense. What does it matter how smart someone is if they don't know how to exercise it?

    You "own" a very smart gorilla? Isn't that tantamount to slavery, the owning of another intelligent being? Was there not a movement to declare the great apes had equal rights with humans. In "Jerry Was a Man" Robert Heinlein made the case that a bioengineered gorilla was in fact a man. Aren't you ashamed of yourself for holding such an intelligent creature in bondage?

    I agree. "Koko" has always brought to mind some South Central 50-cent streetwalker. I also agree that Koko could have become mayor of San Francisco and served two terms, and nobody would know from any difference in the results.
