Why would the thinking need to be identical?

It’s likely thinking can work in many different ways. It’s likely consciousness can also arise through many different pathways, even if evolution led to biological animals having similar consciousness/thinking pathways. But that would be the result of a common ancestor and the tremendous evolutionary advantage thinking and consciousness gave the specific species.

It wouldn’t indicate that’s the only way thinking and consciousness can occur.
