The origin of conciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind
What does it mean to be conscious? How did it come to be? When? Where is it? How does it work?
What exactly seperates consciousness from unconcious lower beings? Your body can react unconciously, unconcious beings have memory.
In the Odyssey, the protagonist is like us, with an inner monologue, frequently paired with other characters who are borderline automatons. Is it possible consciousness only came to be as recently as written history?

Not to be rude but this is literally the dumbest fricking idea I've ever heard of in my entire life.

It's an interesting idea, and I think it's probably fair to say that the complexity of consciousness does accrue over each generation. But the bicameral mind I'm skeptical of as a theory because it's basically saying we as humans only recently gained the equivalence of object permanence with our conscience.
