Psychologists and behavioural researchers have certain criteria related to what we consider consciousness. One of the is the development of a 'theory of mind' and there are some experimental methods which are supposed to allow the identification of individuals with a 'theory of mind'. I don't know what the various experimental procedures involved however, or how generally applicable they are, mostly this work is done with primates.

Surely animals that hunt and animals that gather are behaviouraly distinct both from each other and from animals that both hunt and gather?
