The quoted theory is exactly backwards. The ancestors of humans were hierarchical, like chimpanzees. Humans achieved success by developing language and other cooperative behaviors and ditching hierarchy for egalitarian social structures.

What do you call it if all the little bits of matter are not conscious in the slightest but each of them thinks it is

There are huge swaths of everyday life that billionaires have no clue about. It’s why they are the least qualified possible people to put in positions of power

AI Overview: "Dental realism"refers to the philosophical debate about whether teeth exist independently of human perception, a concept rooted in metaphysical realism. While realism asserts an objective reality for teeth, idealist philosophies contend that teeth's existence is tied to our consciousness and perception. Philosophers use this idea, for example, to discuss the ethics of tooth extraction, examining whether a procedure impacts a real entity or merely a subjective experience.

Insufficiently evolved. Humans have been bipedal for only a couple million years, and our spines are still designed for all fours. In a couple million years more you’ll be fine.
