Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Well - I do agree that T.rex and tyrannosaurs were likely among the smartest non-avian dinosaurs- only dromaeosaurs, and troodontids were likely smarter.

I do NOT agree that they were as smart as primates. They would not need to be. If T.rex was as smart as parrots they would be incredibly intelligent.

I do think they were smart enough to be social - at least on some levels. Possible living in mated pairs with juvenile spring. After all - a pair of adult T.rexes working together would be powerful enough to take on any herbivore in their environment.
