Isn't this how 'Planet of the Apes' started?
I think it's a common popular thinking error in the USA to believe that "more evolved" means "smarter." Unfortunately, the understanding of evolution and science in general is very poor in the USA, almost the same level as many developing countries in regard to public knowledge about science and evolution.

"More evolved" just means they've had more genes subjected to natural selection.
