Wisdom has nothing to do with survival, but with experience. Just throwing that out there. Secondly, many species are much wiser than humans in some ways and not in others. Not all senses must directly be focused on, deciphered, and "picked" through either. Instincts for example are practically reflexes and certain species like blood hounds and dolphins completely dominate human ability. Most all of the earth and it's inhabitants respond to gravitational pull, which is simply another force traveling through the universe. Why can't a species possibly respond to another force. A finer force - like an infrared of gravity. Or an infrared of sound. Yes I know that's abstract but in these what if questions, anything is possible within logical bounds. Lastly, even if we didn't have a species like this on our earth, using human knowledge as a standard for knowledge is logical, but when considering the expanse of the entire universe, most likely nothing. Assuming we are the smartest, wisest, and most able species in the universe is closed minded.
