What would/will the world be like when other animals reach levels of intelligence comparable to ours?

Asked by DigitalBlue (7102points) October 23rd, 2012

I hope there are no misunderstandings. I know that many animals display various levels of intelligence, some might even argue that certain animals may be more intelligent than us in their own ways.

Do you think other species will ever reach a degree of intelligence where they have the capability to compete with us?

If so, when do you think that might happen?

If it does, or if you just want to imagine and run with it, what would the world be like?

What animals do you think would be first? How would we coexist with other highly capable animals sharing the same space?
