Why do you assume they where forming homunculus concepts?
On further consideration, I have now replaced “But they were forming homunculus concepts just like us.” with “So [the location where thinking happens is] obviously not the kind of thing one can just “feel”.” That actually fits better with the flow of the argument anyway.
I’m from the same culture as you and I claim I don’t have homunculus concept, or at least not one that matches what you describe in this post.
For those trying to follow along, this comment was written before the update I described here, which (I hope) helps clarify things.
