I wouldn't hold your breath hoping to find something else.
Evolution does not necessarily lead to the development of huge intelligence anyway.Evolution favours leaving large numbers of viable offspring.
A largest brain is expensive in energy and resources but due to a thousand million flukes , it did eventually lead to success for us.
(But possibly ultimate failure eventually if we are not intelligent enough to some how control world population and the increasing level of resources it comes).
You do have to wonder how we got this far
