It's a wonder our species has survived this long.

Why? Bacteria don't even think. And here they are, since the beginning of time.

Because stuff like this makes me wonder if not thinking might in fact be an evolutionary advantage.

I mean, all you need to do is see the statistical data on human global growth population. The population is growing exponentially so... yes. Thinking is, in fact, an evolutionary advantage. Because if we didn't think, things like medicine wouldn't be a thing.
