It's a good explanation for non-humans. But explaining differences in human behaviour via genes quickly runs counter to human universality.
That is not true. For instance, like ~20% of all people, I have aphantasia, which limits my development as an artist. And if you continue to prefer nice beliefs over true beliefs, it will limit your development as a scientist or philosopher.

I don't have beliefs on this matter but know there exist three possibilities because of what a mind is (it's software running on brain hardware). If it's a hardware problem the issue is one of speed or memory. If not: it's software and so it's a matter of not knowing how.

The software is expressed in hardware (you can put me into a coma and I'll come back online), and in most minds it has not bootstrapped itself into domain unspecific universality, and won't get there. Btw. agnosticism requires justification of your degree of uncertainty.
