There's no why to any of it. Also we have no idea whether other species have consciousness, since we are unable to communicate with them well enough to find out. We see empathy and mourning in several other mammalian species. I would not claim that a Chimpanzee or a Bonobo or an Elephant is not conscous.

Brain size matters, the basics for survival can be done with something as small as a golfball.

Other animals have consciousness, not just apes. Birds have it and even frogs display conscious behaviours.
