First of all we don't know much about consciousness, but anyways I feel that its actually against evolution.
Consciousness allows you to be stupid, dumb, makes you do things that are harmful for survival.
You could easily be a collection of 'inputs and outputs' like a 'robot' of sorts with the computing powers of our brain, and you'd go through life pretty nicely. A lot of species survive without having 'consciousness'.
1. Consciousness is first of all unnecessary, it provides no benefit over a robot with the computing capabilities that of our brain.
2. It creates cases of harm to survival as well.
3. Consciousness provides no extra meaningful information to be useful
I would argue if you have 2 species of humans, one with consciousness and one without, holding all other things constant like the ability to process information. That the one who is unconscious is better fit to survive.
So where are the unconscious human 'robots'
