Chimp vs. human brain (Introduction)

dhw:On this thread, I am grappling with David's belief that God planned evolution to culminate in human consciousness.-
I just spotted another science report to support my theory that humans are the logical end point for God's plan to have conscious humans on earth:-http://phys.org/news/2012-12-flores-hobbit-revealed.html-The Hobbits are one of four lines of humans that co-existed in the recent past. Our line, the Neanderthals, the Denosovans and the Hobbits. Why produce a branching tree unless the result is an important part of the plan? Convergence is throughout evolution. The famous example is vision, six different types of eye organs in various unrelated branches of evolution. All an attempt to produce complexity until the goal is achieved. Perhaps evolution stops at this point except in the development of more brilliant brains. Perhaps by using more of the brain, alteration by plasticity, etc. It is reputed that only 15% of the brain is used currently. How that is known, I have no idea.
