I think the idea, like the one that aliens built the pyramids, or that we need some extra, spooky spice to explain consciousness, are borne out of incredulity. We think, those of us who think like this, we're so far removed from animals, and special, that something else must be going on in order to explain us. I think it does a disservice to how powerful evolution, as a process, actually is. Similarly to undermining ancient Egyptians' abilities, or the mechanical complexity of neural networks.

But I work in IT, so that's none of my business.
