One measure of relative intelligence between animals.
The encephalization quotient or EQ) is a rough estimate of the possible intelligence of an organism. It can be defined as the ratio of the actual brain weight to the expected brain weight of a typical animal that size, EQ=w(brain)/Ew(brain).
Of course this measure keeps humans on top.
But interesting how much closer bottlenose dolphins are to humans than chimps...
