You must be talking about primitive humans because for tens of thousands of years humans have been embracing and growing their capacity to think and plan in increasingly complex ways. We'd still be living in caves and eating animals we killed ourselves if as you say our brains abhor complexity and conscious thinking. Many modern human beings including yourself don't abhor complexity, they seek it.
