      we don’t totally understand this yet but a fair bit of intelligence is thought to be inherited from parents. we can tell this by rare cases of identical twins who were raised apart.

      also having good nutrition when you’re young and being chalenged and stimulated not just left by parents in your crib is important.

      Brains are thought to be more advanced if they have more cells & they are connected in very complicated ways.

      They are considered to be more advanced in some animals and more simple in other animals. But they don’t get more or less in any particular animal.

      I hope that answers your question!
