Question

How did humans evolve into such a smart race

Answer

Most scientists agree that the development of an upright posture (standing on two legs) freed the hands of early humans so they could be used to carry and use things. This ability, along with the need to work with others of the same species, has required humans to become more intelligent than some other species.
