I think there's more to it than just us humans, being controlled by our brains and our nervous system working based on electrical impulses and molecules moving.. As you can tell, most animals behave by their instinct. Us humans don't have that, we can make our own choices, make our own thought process and have more interpretations to the whole subject. We will probably never find out how concioussness was formed in evolution, from neanderthals that pretty much already knew how to built tools but still didn't really have cognitive thinking.
Take dreams for example. Dreams are based on associations and often they don't make any sense. But we all know there's more to it when we're awake. There had to be preposition for cognitive thinking, it's probably the biggest mystery of it all, and I truly wonder what is, if there is, afterlife.
