Yes, our DNA structure is unique, but many DNA structures can lead to intelligence. Ours has been the first and only one on this planet, but this could change. And in the same documentary I heard that the funny-mysterious properties were fundamental, the experts also said that there are new discoveries of species which are not Homo sapiens, but similar variations, and that did have a big brain and could have gone to school and university and been intellectual.
