Just like every other organ, it is a survival tool. What than is self awareness and consciousness, and why does it exist, what is it's purpose. Is it just a spandrel of language?

Consciousness doesn't need a purpose. It's a by-product of other things with a purpose. As is often the case in evolution.

Consciousness also aides with survival and the passing of one's genes, except when it comes to nuclear weapons and catastrophic climate change.
