My favorite solution: consciousness is not that important of a criteria when determining the success of an organism- there are plenty populated planets all over the universe, but none of them care about learning, or exploring the unknown. Our giant brains are just one very specific solution to one very specific problem, and in some environments, there are advantages to not having such a brain.
