<I think that there are many people, scientists included, who somehow thought self awareness was a giant leap in complexity, when it was only an incremental step.> Could be... because single cells maybe 'aware'?? <Gene expression is usually controlled by hormones, and that can include the hormones we eat, not just the ones that are produced within our body.> By means of 'signal transduction' from OUTSIDE the cell, no? From the cells "environment" so to speak. And the study signal transduction, the movement of signals from outside the cell to inside, or pathways is exploding.
