The Chinese zodiac stated that rats are creative, intelligent, honest, ambitious and generous hundreds of years before scientific studies proved all of these traits to actually be true. Except for, perhaps, honesty.
Rats are among the most used research subjects and were the third animal, after humans and mice, to have their entire genome sequenced. Their genome proved that rats have accelerated evolutionary adaptation, meaning they evolve faster than most mammals. The fact that two brown rats can produce 15,000 rats in only 1 year provides plenty of opportunities for rapid evolution.
Past research has also proven that rats are intelligent and quick learners, but recent studies have also show that rats empathize with other rats suggest that morality and empathy were hardwired into animal brains long before humans evolved. Rats also laugh and dream and can form bonds with humans. These are just a few reasons why rats are better than human.
