Agreed. Human consciousness is a product of nature. However, the process by which animals evolve without our interference is not a product of consciousness or intelligence. I'd call that an important distinction. As would our livestock and crops, if they could speak, which isn't something we're likely to select them for..lol.
(late edit, "is not always", we could invoke sexual selection and the consciousness and intelligence of the animals making the selection)
