Сознание впервые возникло в стволе мозга? Доказательство от боли:
"Here we assemble evidence, drawn from a number of sources, suggesting that pain experience is unlike the other senses and may not, in fact, be an expression of cortical processing. These include the virtual inability to evoke pain by cortical stimulation, the rarity of painful auras in epileptic patients and outcomes of cortical lesions. And yet, pain perception is clearly a function of a conscious brain. ... This draws us to conclude that conscious experience, at least as realized in the pain system, is seated subcortically, perhaps even in the “primitive” brainstem."

Здесь можно усмотреть противоречие с эволюционным объяснением происхождения сознания как средства внутривидовой коммуникации, предложенного Oakley & Halligan (2017). Но можно, напротив, использовать эту зацепку для проверки их гипотезы (и ее вариантов) через анализ особенностей эволюции механизмов восприятия боли.
