"evolutionary superiority" is more than a bit hubristic. a snail or even a slug, an ant, a cat, a lion, a gorilla or a flea is as perfectly evolved as homo sapiens; arguably moreso, if you compare existent timelines.
the problem arises at the point of separation; dualism, Kant or otherwise, with an unhealthy focus on reductionist materialism, when human beings separate themselves from Nature and forget the innately crucial frequencies of soul and spirit.
consciousness is born of the individual spirit, wherein the realm of thought (thinking) is enabled, activated, impelled; i.e. the ability to willingly cultivate (even curate) cognition, that is, percepts are identified and transformed into concepts, which then get distilled into whatever language one speaks/thinks in, each with its own limitations ("suspended in language... our intellectual description of nature is always culturally derived (Pirsig, 'Lila', 1991).
collective consciousness can be "seen" in something as simple and elegant as a murmuration of starlings, yet it still is, in fact, only ever individuals birds acting according to incentives born of a clearly defined ruleset.
if "a collective consciousness is needed", your own words, by who/what/how is such a need instantiated? by voluntary or coercive means?
more thought/thinking required. 🌀🫡
