What is it you want, exactly? You needn't be a scientist to see the difference between a fish & a human but those differences are biological

Independent of what? What is a way that you can look at how brains developed & what they do that isn't science? What do you mean?

If I showed you a fish's brain & a human brain &demonstrated that the latter can speak but former can't,this would be evidence of adaptation

However, it would be *scientific* evidence of adaptation so I do not see any way to justify the hypothesis without resorting to science.

a hypothesis can be justified by data that wasn't used in its construction - that's what independent justification means

Can you give an example of what could justify the evolution of brains?

evidence justifies the claim that the brain evolved

That was my position & there's tonnes of it in fossils & embryology & more.
