Or you may call it subjective experience which cannot be generalized relating to all the beings.
Any kind of being which are capable of perception, We are the champions, when it comes to assessing and determining the world surrounding us.
The evolution, that phenomena which has privileged the humans in terms of perception and thought, cannot be defeated or altered in its natural course just because it has been determined as fate in advance.
Summutized as above, please submit your mortal thoughs.
We are the champions all right. All the higher intellect thingy shit. Still the only animal that kills each other for fun.
We're number 1!
We're number 1!

So, you think evolution is a living thing that plans what and how it works???? Evolution is a total and complete neutral force of this universe. It cannot privilege any species with anything. There is a good book (or two) by this guy named Darwin--maybe you aught to read it.
Contingency and determinism in evolution: Replaying life's tape (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aam5979)
QuoteAbstract
Historical processes display some degree of "contingency," meaning their outcomes are sensitive to seemingly inconsequential events that can fundamentally change the future. Contingency is what makes historical outcomes unpredictable. Unlike many other natural phenomena, evolution is a historical process. Evolutionary change is often driven by the deterministic force of natural selection, but natural selection works upon variation that arises unpredictably through time by random mutation, and even beneficial mutations can be lost by chance through genetic drift. Moreover, evolution has taken place within a planetary environment with a particular history of its own. This tension between determinism and contingency makes evolutionary biology a kind of hybrid between science and history. While philosophers of science examine the nuances of contingency, biologists have performed many empirical studies of evolutionary repeatability and contingency. Here, we review the experimental and comparative evidence from these studies. Replicate populations in evolutionary "replay" experiments often show parallel changes, especially in overall performance, although idiosyncratic outcomes show that the particulars of a lineage's history can affect which of several evolutionary paths is taken. Comparative biologists have found many notable examples of convergent adaptation to similar conditions, but quantification of how frequently such convergence occurs is difficult. On balance, the evidence indicates that evolution tends to be surprisingly repeatable among closely related lineages, but disparate outcomes become more likely as the footprint of history grows deeper. Ongoing research on the structure of adaptive landscapes is providing additional insight into the interplay of fate and chance in the evolutionary process.
