Consciousness
#21
RE: Consciousness
Consciousness: Being aware of one self, mental & physical. Our brains have evolved to understand what it is to be aware.

i.e. I am Alive=>I am physical=>I am a Animal=>I am a Mammal=>I am a Human=>I am Aware.

Many 'animals' understand this. We are not unique.

The electrical impulses and substance that make up the human brain or soul, allow us to understand this, when it has evolved into it's present form. However, our brains have many different parts that are very similar to other animal families.

i.e We have a reptilian part. We have a avian part. We have a mammalian part. etc, etc.

Combine evolution and a long time and you get the 'human mammal animal'|:-)|, which is aware, as are many other animals.

Some are not.
