Animals evolved to have intelligence. It helped them not die as easily. People evolved to have excess intelligence, by pure luck. Now we assert ourselves in complex ways because of simple urges.

It's not like you have to take years of study in nerusocience to actually debunk the concept of the soul. It's just common sense really. What people believe the soul is is our personalities and memories. But there's real life evidence that changes to the brain can make changes to our personalities and memories. For example OP could have gotten beaten so much by his dad that he went retarded, or even lost some of his memories. There's also countless evidence that show neuron firings are related to behavior.
On the other hand there is absolutely zero evidence that suggests "souls" exist. So why would you need the supernatural explanation? It's all our brains really, no magic.

Why did you incorporate the concept of a 'soul' in your question in the first place? None of these things physically require such an idea, the 'soul' is a spiritual concept.
