I am just hypotheses here. But after God made all the animals including the aborigines, and there could have been other humanoids as well, including the Neanderthal, at the hunter gather level of mental acuity.
Nor the lion nor the T. rex nor the basic humanoid had the capacity to appreciate the depth of the lords creation .
Adam was made in Gods image so that the spark of higher imagination was afloat.
Trying playing chess , no maybe even checkers ,,,with a person who can not even understand the game, but would rather wear them as beads .
So after all that work ,perhaps God wanted more than a spear thrower to banter with .
