Can our brains comprehend the complexity of our Universe?

Question

Could we simply stare the end of our Universe right in the face and not understand what we're looking at? For example, perhaps we can and do see the ends of our universe but perhaps cannot comprehend it. Biologically, we are relatively simple creatures. We are made up of DNA which is basically just amino acids, nucleotides and all that other good stuff. We are infact made up of what early Earth created from its early atmosphere. Our brains are not fit to comprehend the great complexity of our Universe.

So what I am asking really: Is it possible that the end of our Universe as we know it is well in visual range, but perhaps our brains cannot comprehend it, and if not, do you perhaps think that what light waves has not reached from the big bang could ever end? This is so confusing. I could think about this all day, God is such an amazing God for what he created.

The species that we share most of our DNA is with Primates. Primates have 99% of our DNA, yet they are a lot dumber than us. The smartest primates could maybe learn some sign language. So if we are so much more intelligent than Primates, how come we share 99% of our DNA with them? Everything that we are, which distinguishes us from chimps, emerges from that 1% difference in DNA. The Hubble Telescope, The ISS, cars, supercomputers, are all in that 1%

Maybe constructing and Launching the Hubble Telescope and a chimp combining 2 finger motions as sign language is not that big of a difference as it seems to us. We only tell ourselves it is. Maybe we only tell ourselves that we are much more intelligent than chimps, but in reality we may not be that much smarter. 

Now imagine another life form, that is 1% different from us, in the direction that we are to the chimps. Theres a 1% difference between us and chimps, and we are launching satellites to space. If theres another life form, another 1% more intelligent than us, than we may be pretty dumb compared to them. We would be drooling, blithering idiots in there presence! Think about how smart they would be. Quantum mechanics would be intuitive to their toddlers. And It would all be a difference of 1%

The point Im trying to get through here is, that maybe we're just to stupid to truly comprehend the universe. Maybe humans do have what it takes to solve the mysteries of the universe. If thats the case, we may never make any new big discoveries again.
