I almost completely agree, Dave, it seems almost the definition of life of any kind to value self over other, and how could this preference be expressed without a self-conception and how could there be a self-other conception without subject/object awareness?
But for so much of life, plants, bacteria, worms, it's hard to picture how any real self awareness could evolve and it's easy to postulate instinctual responses to environment. Thus I put forth the mammalian divide as the flowering of self/other consciousness and the beginnings of social patterning. It's all about the 'mmmmm's baby. John 2.0b - the quality build.
