    Complex limb? Let me see an elephant tie a granny knot. Maybe with training? OK. Do a square knot.

    Complex communication? Elephants have communication skills on par with a 3-4 year old human. An intensely trained dog might top 200 words. My vocabulary is an easy 50,000 words. Yours is too.

    Binocular vision is a must, that’s a given. Damn near every animal on the planet has it, even some worms.
