I think we have thousands of years of evidence that the same isn't true for humans

The fact that one human brain is composed in two half brains that each seem to be able to function fairly independently when separated doesn't seem like it changes that much

It changes that we can prove it. In as much as you can do experiments where you "hide" actions from one half, mess with it (e.g. totally change "choices" supposedly made by the brain) and ask the other half to explain why "it" made the choice, and it will do so, unaware that the choice was made by the experimenters. It won't go "sorry, but I don't know" or similar.
