Identifying Intelligence As humans think about encountering extraterrestrial intelligence , we first need to define what “intelligence” actually is. Humans aren’t the only species to have intelligence—we have more of it than other species on Earth but we’re not the only  ones with it. Chimps have culture and know how to use tools.
