dude, you're not entitled to call the collapse of a wave function a physical event, as a wave function is just a state vector, that corresponds to some physical system, in hilbert space --the mathematical setting in which these collapses might be said to occur, but which we can't say is real in the physical sense.

so, you need to define "measurement" and "knowledge" in the context of quantum theory. then, explain how and why knowledge of a measurement causes ripples in human consciousness that are able to propagate in an abstract space, and act as operators on infinite dimensional mathematical objects. (note that even though the question of "why" is a matter of philosophy, you need to address it in order to lend some merit to your claim that any consciousness that collapses a wave function is necessarily a human one.)
