‘Smartness’ is a really tricky thing to measure, because there are lots of different things that we can be smart at. Humans are really good at sitting back and working out how to solve a complex puzzle, which other apes and monkeys aren’t as good at.
However, they can be very good at some things. Chimpanzees (which are apes) can learn to remember sequences that come up on a screen much faster than most humans.
