Why are humans the only species on earth to become intelligent?

To bastardize a quote, “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
There are animals with the intelligence of 7 year old human babies (octopuses, crows, etc). There are also animals that are incredibly intelligent in the way they’re required to be to survive. Plenty even use tools.
As for our level of intelligence, to make it simple we evolved like: forming tribes for safety -> using tools to get enough food to feed the tribe -> using tools to defeat threats -> clothing to allow us ru survive as we migrated to more environments -> building structures to live in those environments -> creating rules to keep the tribe safe -> agriculture
