This is an easy way to learn much about Teilhard De Chardin and Sri Aurobindo. However, I don't share their belief that consciousness occurs all the way down to ultimate particles. I believe that it dawned among those higher vertebrates which defend and nurture their offspring. Though social insects also behave this way, I view that as behavior mimicry. My view is that the invertebrates evolved into a dead end and the Teilhardian/Aurobindoan drive toward consciousness capitalized on the insects' astounding feats of mimicry to evolve societies which behave as if conscious.
