If they do not have rights how does homo sapiens acquire these "self-evident" rights?

We conceptualize them, define them and claim them as a species that has attained sapience.
Not all human agree, but then, that too is the nature of the struggle to protect rights.

Sapient species have rights. Non-sapient species do not.

Sapient species have rights. Non-sapient species do not.

Therefore, presently, Ronald R. Reagan has no rights.
