Is Herbert a monkey or a person? The sentence order makes it sound like he is just a monkey, because you are comparing Herbert to more intelligent monkeys.
If you replace the word “monkey” with something else, the reader will assume that Herbert is one of those other things, just not one that is particularly intelligent.
The correct order (in which you are saying that Herbert is a really stupid human) would be “there are monkeys more intelligent than Herbert”.
In this case, the phrase “more intelligent” is comparing Herbert with basically anything else that is smarter than him (including things that wouldn’t be smarter than the average person)
