Finally: How did the jump happen from standard animal intelligence to human consciousness? Sure there are some smart animals out there, but they do not hold a candle to human intelligence.
We can see a stark difference between the intellect of present day humans and those who wrote ancient myths that captured the imagination of their even more troglodytic fellows. Clearly we are more evolved than those people; more able to reason, more able to empathize with people different from us, etc.
If that can happen in 3000 years, imagine what can happen in the course 3 Billion years.
