The First Minds: Caterpillars, Karyotes, and Consciousness
New York: Oup Usa (2018)
Abstract
The Cellular Basis of Consciousness theory places the first appearance of sentience at the emergence of life. It makes the radical, and previously unexplored, claim that prokaryotes, like bacteria, possess a primitive form of consciousness. The implications of the theory for the philosophy of mind, cell-biology, and cognitive neurosciences are explored.Other Versions
