Abstract: The relationship between high IQ individuals and animals is characterized by profound empathy, scientific curiosity, and appreciation of the animals' cognitive and emotional capacities. Elevated ethical sensitivity towards animal treatment and wild animal domestication is central to this interaction. Neuroscientific studies highlight increased activity in brain regions associated with empathy and emotional regulation, such as the prefrontal cortex and insula, and the importance of neurotransmitters like serotonin and oxytocin. Genetic variants influence emotional sensitivity and advanced social skills. Scientific curiosity in high IQ individuals is driven by activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and modulated by dopamine and serotonin. Advanced understanding of animal capacities promotes respect and ethical practices in animal management and conservation.
