I propose that the evolutionary history of consciousness likely began in large-bodied‚ arboreal apes with the development of a bodily self-awareness and sense of personal agency‚ allowing them to successfully

About twenty years ago‚ the British anthropologist‚ Robin Dunbar‚ observed an association between the sizes of primate brains--specifically the size of the neocortex--and the number of social contacts. Chimps can process a smaller number of contacts than humans. Dunbar concluded that humans can handle regular contact with a number of friends somewhere between 100 and 200‚ and 150 became the standard Dunbar number for our species. So‚ though the social
