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?

On what do you judge that humans are more intelligent than other animals?
Not in the moral way.
But humans can think about the past, future goals etc.

@Totoro: Animals have more of a connection to their past than we do, ancestral memories, that enables them to eat what is not poisonous for them, and travel sometimes back to a place they have never been to. We humans have to look up in a book what we can forage, animals know, it's a Link to their ancestors, a link we've forgotten.
You are right though that other animals generally deal with the here and now and any impending danger though
@ajoite: that is interesting. thanks
