I guess evolution didn't want to solve that problem, so it created for us the illusion that our branch isn't getting thinner instead.

Humans would have innate knowledge of many worlds if a specific illusion hadn't evolved to counter it?

By default, evolved organisms have innate knowledge of many worlds?

There are features in biological evolution that are conditional on many worlds being true?

I hope I misunderstood you...

No, I'm not claiming any of those things. By "illusion" I meant a view of the universe that doesn't correspond to reality, not a patch to override a default.
