Maybe. Maybe not. We don't really have enough data to say that for sure.
It does raise a question though: If aliens came to earth who were demonstrably more intellectually complex than humans, would you value them more than humans? Given the choice between killing an alien or killing a human, would you kill the human? It seems that you'd have to based on the argument that you're making here.
