“But it looks like it needed that thumb to eat bamboo“ Of course it helps. If it was able to think and to reason out the outcome of procreation it would (of course) have created something a bit better than a bone spur!! “Well, it wouldn't be stupid! LOL“ That is my point. The ability to survive from an evolutionary perspective is neither smart nor stupid. These are qualities that reference mental agility and rational self interest. “Human consciousness/awareness/intelligence appears to 'evolve':“ Consciousness is a consequence of biology so it flows from biological fitness. Humans are able to pass on information in other than genetic ways--which may or may not increase the time left to us until extinction. “What's wrong with survival of the fittest... death, extinction, new life and new forms replacing the old?? It's not ridiculous at all IMO“ I’ve not said it was ridiculous. But neither am I asserting that it denotes intelligence. That would be an extraordinary claim for which there is no scientific evidence. A claim which, however, may be advanced as philosophical speculation.
