That places bears at the same level that proto-hominids are at, mentally speaking.

That's also the same level our ancestors first started using fire and making stone tools. Which places them as a strong contender as 'next up' in evolutionary terms, if anything happens to the human race.

Yes ...

Native Americans revere bears not just for their physical strength but their wisdom. Bears have an awareness of medicinal plants -- it's why they serve as a healer's totem.
