Yes that is exactly true.
_______________
Evolution is a theory not having anthromorpic character of dualism.
Life evolves in various forms with or without intelligence. Natural
selection is an idea concocted by a mind attached in a theory based on
a finite brain.
Our brains evolved without intelligence then as it develops from a
simple organism to a more complex system in response to change, some
brains regressed and some developed conscious processes using
unconscious AI.
The steps leading to conscious processes started with unconscious
processes in interacting atoms and molecules and during this period
consciousness evolved gradually in some primates then some minds
exhibited intelligent consciousness while some lagged behind.
