And the winner is ... SARS! (or whatever the most-recently evolved organism is)

Don't take it personally Geo. Evolutionists are not saying that
"Bacteria Is Good". Humans don't have to feel bad about being
weirdly different from the common forms of life. A human is a sublime
being, a paragon of virtue, etc. Enjoy it!

It may be that once intelligence enters the picture that really great
things happen (cultural effects such as generation-to-generation
knowledge). But what came first? Physical stuff like tool-making hands, or
intelligence? The answer is Neither! They evolved together.

I don't have the stamina for "a watch was built by a watch maker"
argument at the moment, so I will just baldly assert that CPUs are designed
by people who have a purpose, and who provide a direction to CPU
development. The same is not true of animals.
