Yes well, there goes those nice time figures again.Hell why not add another billion years evo's!
No need to be so flippant, Mike. He's just throwing out numbers for the sake of discussion. If you want to question the concurrence of multiple independent dating methods for a particular piece of material, we could discuss that. In this case, it should be obvious that the point is unaffected by the exact numbers.

Seriously, though... it seems to be that there are degrees of consciousness, even among people, and one might argue that a few animals are further along the continuum than others. Look at the social structure of chimpanzees. Can each one be truly unconscious of its role in that system?
