Are you saying how our brains work never evolved and we think the same as primates?

That seems really far fetched.

It's not so far fetched to say that mammal brains are all pretty similar and have a similar "consciousness" that "lower" mammals may be mediated/obscured by inability to use complex language or some other constraints

The ability to use language is a core part of jayne’s theory though. That would be part of the evolution process.
