The time period necessary did strike me as surprising too when I read about it on wikipedia. In general I expect to find gradual change over time, not something clicked into an on position all at once and fully.
Elsewhere you wrote of consciousness arising in response to prey/predator relationships. At the point at which anticipating the activity of a creature that may be anticipating what you are up to, and how your own activity may be perceived seems a likely point for more self consciousness to arise. I mean, clearly, consciousness is there way back. But self conscious reflection wouldn't likely arise without need.
BTW I ordered my copy and am assured it will arrive between this Friday and October 11.
