A crucial distinction needs to be made here: "intelligence species" and "biological species" exist on entirely different levels. An intelligence species can vastly outperform humans—potentially by orders of magnitude—in cognition, reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving, without needing any direct biological equivalence. Even future embodied AI robots that surpass humans in IQ by hundreds of times and in physical dexterity by hundreds of times still belong to a fundamentally different category. They are not "better humans." They are the next intelligence species.
