Chris Helgren / Reuters. June 6, 2016. Ever since Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, evolution has been the grand unifying theory of biology. Yet one of our most important

To locate the birth of consciousness on the evolutionary timeline, it will be beneficial to consider the basic neural machinery that is thought to be involved in human consciousness (2-8).The distinction between phenomenal and access consciousness was noted, but phenomenal consciousness itself reflects the dissociable neurobiological processes of awareness and arousal (9-13) ().

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscious_evolution
Conscious evolution. The concept of conscious evolution refers to the theoretical ability of human beings to become conscious participants in the evolution of their cultures, or even of the entirety of human society, based on a relatively recent combination of factors, including increasing awareness of cultural and social patterns, reaction

Daniel Dennett has been mulling consciousness over for the last 50 years, and he's ended up where we began: evolution. When this theory was proposed by Darwin, it inverted everything people at

Evolutionary biology forms a cornerstone of the life sciences and thus the neurosciences, yet the emergence of consciousness during the timeline of evolution remains opaque. As the theory of evolution began to eclipse both religious explanations and Enlightenment doctrines regarding the singularity of human consciousness, it became clear that consciousness must have a point of emergence during

This review seeks to combine advances in anthropology and neuroscience to investigate the adaptive value of human consciousness. It uses an interdisciplinary perspective on the origin of consciousness to refute the most common fallacies in considering consciousness, particularly, disregarding the evolutionary origin of the subjective reality in looking for the neural correlates of

While the emergence of consciousness from brain dynamics is commonly accepted, many authors still ascribe to consciousness a special biological function and active role for selective attention, operant learning, and goal-directed behavior as if evolution had equipped the brain with consciousness just to perform complex volitional actions, which

The origin of consciousness is one the most intractable mysteries about the human mind, because of its intrinsic conceptual and theoretical difficulties. ... Crucially, neural evolution also developed an attention mechanism alerting the individual to danger. The attention mechanism of the brain enabling redirection of neural flows contrary to

Given the interrelationship between the external and internal environments as endogenization in contributing to physiology, it is productive to consider its role in the evolution of consciousness (Torday 2018a, b). Conventionally, the brain is defined as the site of consciousness and mind.

We address these long-standing and essential questions using a modern neuroscientific approach that draws on diverse fields such as consciousness studies, evolutionary neurobiology, animal psychology, and anesthesiology. We propose that the stepwise emergence from general anesthesia can serve as a reproducible model to study the evolution of

The goal of this article is to break down the dimensions of consciousness, attempt to reverse engineer their evolutionary function, and make sense of the origins of consciousness by breaking off those dimensions that are more likely to have arisen later. A Darwinian approach will allow us to revise the philosopher's concept of consciousness away from a single "thing," an all-or-nothing

Neuroplasticity, redundancy, and convergent evolution make necessity claims extremely hard to support experimentally. Under normal conditions, healthy humans may require certain brain areas or processes for supporting consciousness. However, this does not mean those regions or processes are necessary in any strong metaphysical sense

Bronfman et al. (2016) postulate that consciousness has no function of its own but is generated by the same brain features that are required for the cognitive property of unlimited associative learning (UAL). UAL then becomes a marker for consciousness, and tracking its evolution is synonymous with tracking the evolution of consciousness
