> And here we are pondering subjects that our ancestors would not stop to consider as they moved through their daily life of survival.

I am not so sure of that. Ancient peoples had pretty elaborate concepts of a spirit world which affected their lives in various ways, good and bad. 

Excerpts from a book review :

> All told, the authors contributing to "Biophysics of Consciousness" seem to me a bold yet well informed and often logically disciplined group engaging the frontier of what may be the twenty-first century’s hardest scientific problem. The verve of these theoreticians has not yet converged on one consensually validated architecture for a bridge across the ‘explanatory gap’, but the Golden Gate wasn’t spanned in a day. [see: Roman Poznanski, Jack Tuszynski and Todd Feinberg (eds.) 2017. Biophysics of Consciousness: A Foundational Approach]

comment: maybe we should give up on something as intractable as "the twenty-first century’s hardest scientific problem. "
