Origin of Consciousness

How did self-awareness emerge? The origin of consciousness is one of the deepest mysteries of science. This book investigates theories from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and cognitive psychology to explore how consciousness may have evolved. It examines the relationship between brain complexity and awareness, the role of sensory perception, and the emergence of abstract thought. By comparing human consciousness with that of other animals and artificial intelligence, readers will gain insights into what makes conscious experience possible.
