We’re the most social species on the planet by far, unless you count hive superorganisms like ants. We’ve bonded with other species and integrated them into our lives, turned tribes of a few dozen into cities of a million, countries of a billion, all living and working together (mostly). I think that social instinct is more important to our success than individual “intelligence”, personally.
And that insane sociality makes us form emotional bonds with just about anything that vaguely looks like it has a face ^-^
