Have you counted ants? They seem to be as successful as people. Even mice do okay and they are quite large, but with the disadvantage of looking like dinner to lots of things.

Indeed: <not all Homo Sapiens Sapiens are equal, you know what I mean. > Not even born equal [contrary to popular myth].

Success in life is a bit like success in stock markets = it's hard to know whether it's due to intrinsic greatness, or simply luck, aka probability. If the successful know quite a lot, they imagine they were right because they are smart. But success is not ipso facto evidence of smartness, though it's better evidence than the alternative and is, as far as nature is concerned, the definition of smart.
