Theories on the true intelligence of dolphins abound. One important starting point for these theories is the size and weight of the dolphin brain. It is roughly the same size and weight as a human brain. It is constructed differently and has fewer convolutions, but the underlying neurobiology at the cellular level suggests there is no reason why dolphins should not be as "smart" as people. It depends on the definition of "smart" and the recognition that "smartness" can evolve in different ways under different conditions.
