It's really interesting that there is a perceived dichotomy separating intelligence from emotion when we consider the cognitive processes of humans and other animals.

There are no examples of animals we'd call "intelligent" that aren't also "emotional" -- emotions are probably the foundation of everything we describe as intelligence.

But, there is still a tendency to portray emotion and intelligence as distinct or even as opposite and opposed.
