There is no rule that implies the explicit design dominates the emergent effect.

Evolutionary biology strives to make us logical creatures to fulfill the singular goal of passing on genetic material. Your sentience and your humanity is a side effect of this singular goal.

So what dominates the description of who YOU are? Human or vessel for genetic material?

I'll say that YOU are human and therefore more then just a vessel for ferreting your genetic material into the future... just like how I'll go with the fact that LLMs are more then just statistical word generators.
