"Are you suggesting that a man-ape was born which suddenly was consciousness, where his/her parents were mere automata? Is consciousness really THAT simple as to arise over a SINGLE generation?"
I read part of a very interesting piece one whose premise was that Man has only evolved full self-awareness within recorded history. They author was stating, in basic terms, that there are signs within various ancient Greek (and other early cultures) that man had no concept of internal dialogue. In essence, the "gods" that the Greek referred to and the messages they received were simply the early stirrings of complex internal dialogue. It was a fascinating piece, and I regret that I did not write down the title and author before having to return it.
