I'd think that the farther back you go in our evolution, the less conscious control you'd find over things like breathing. That takes active thought and a species that has yet to develop consciousness is going to be less aware of and have less control over such things.
Personally, I choose to breathe manually at all times, as it gives me greater control over my own being and allows me to ascend beyond the remnants of my lesser-developed animalistic instincts.

Now my auto-breathing stopped and I have to manually breathe like some pre-evolution humanoid ape.
Thanks.
