Consciousness. people...Human consciousness...

You should see the philosophers and neuroscientists fret over trying to understand how it could possibly have come about. I think it's a no brainer, no pun intended. Given so many trillions of adaptable neuronal connections in us (and squid/octopi, just while we are on the subject,), so much evolutionary time, strong natural selection for adaptive survival by environments---It's likely that MANY consciousnesses evolved---not just for humans. Next easy task?

Anyone who has owned more than one pet in their life,
knows well, that each individual has a unique personality.
It seems that consciousness evolved much earlier than
the arise of mammals.
