March to Consciousness: The Soul Timeline
Consciousness
Consciousness wasn’t planned. Evolution added one trait at a time: sensation, memory, pattern-recognition, prediction. Each was added randomly, each useful. Consciousness started when cognition met sensory input. Allowing animals to experience itself experiencing the world. That intersection is consciousness: not magic, not sudden, but the natural accumulation of small changes.
