There are relatively simple organisms alive today who have light sensitivity or eyespots. Do either of you think that they have awareness? Euglena could be a candidate for inquiry. Single celled photosynthetics.

Hell...a blade of grass fits this, btw Benn. The above genus uses a photoreceptor to find sunny spots for leisurely basking. I'd say that this sounds like the sort of simple example that might be informative with regards to the question asked without placing it "way back in time" thus facilitating rampant speculation. We can put these under a microscope in the here and now (and we do).

Quote:specifically, the point at which, for the first time ever, the reception of one or more photons directly affected (even slightly), that organism's behavior.
