How did we humans become so intelligent?

Why are we more intelligent than other animals? How did we evolve?
What is the biggest and most important point in this?

If you listen to lectures by Dr Neil Degrasse Tyson, or listen to startalk radio, they bring up a very interesting premise, the evolutionary benefit of our intelligence is derived from a 1% difference in similarity to primates, so in that 1% of difference, we get everything we've ever invented, everything ever made, and it stemmed the question, what if beings had a similar 1% difference to us, so that we looked like primates to them.
thank you really much :). Good answer
