If any animals do have one or two of these traits, they are order of magnitudes less, because they all work together. Why do you think that other species could evolve those traits that set us apart? That's not my understanding of what evolutionary theory predicts. It natural selection acting on random mutations and errors. How would that work in the development of the non-physical world of consciousness?
There are physical attributes to consciousness, given that it all goes back to brain function, which is a physical entity. If these traits are good for one species' evolution, it can be good for other species. Hence why animals have capacity to learn things like language, and morality, even though Humans have progressed farther than other animals.
