Isn't it strange that this mental development happened to only one of

Not to me. Standing upright and having an opposable thumb made humans
king of the hill. Then further natural selection developed further
mentality.
I suspect that if homo sapiens were wiped away, one of the other
primates would eventually evolve to take his place.
Just like Planet of the Apes.
Either that, or God would take care of it.
What I find strange is that some people have boats, and others don't.
