A genius is a person of great Intelligence or remarkable abilities in a specific subject who shows an exceptional natural capacity of intellect and/or ability especially The woman he increased his intelligence to impress leaves him, claiming he no longer seems human. A chimpanzee who had the same operation has committed suicide out of boredom and despair, and Rhino sees that he will follow that unhappy road.
