I firmly believe that a mammal with a larger brain to body ratio than Simians must have advanced societal and cultural development, though we may not understand the details of it. It seems unlikely that evolution allowed cetaceans to create communication and cognitive abilities similar to our own, but avoided such things as compassion and love.
