What makes us think we know everything?

What do apes understand about physics? About creation? Have they ever
thought about creation? What haven't we ever thought about? What
species that does not yet exist, or that we cannot see, considers us
apelike? Human consciousness would be quite a new dimension for an
ape. Spiritual consciousness, if it exists, would be quite a new
dimension for humans.

What kind of consciousness would the addition of new brain cells, or a
superiorly formed brain, give us?

How can we claim to know how a dog thinks if they have certain brain
properties unique to them, that we don't share?

Is our knowledge and understanding expanding to the same degree that it
had centuries ago? Is the increase more rote or dimensional? Have we
reached any plateaus of understanding? Are more theories being
discounted/disproved than they were centuries ago?

Sorry for all the questions.. dumb probably... lay
