Your comment reinforces the point- our increased 'intelligence' is not necessarily a guarantee of survival, and may in fact be counter-survival.

My apologies if I offended, just it seemed a silly supposition to entertain when the most basic of creatures have the highest chance of adapting to environmental changes. To acquire intelligence would mean to be a complicated species and have lower survival chances.
Acquiring intelligence would come well after the complexity required for a species for it survival rate not to already be compromised. But since regressive evolution is not a preferred option, maybe intelligence could only be considered essential for survival. It would depend on where you were on the evolutionary ladder.
