I don't see conscious free will as having "injected" itself in to, or molecularly built up over time. Rather, conscious free will was always there, but the apparatus by which it interfaced with reality was still primitive. And this is true of the great apes as much as it is true for all living creatures. My belief is in consciousness as an immutable, indestructable, eternal entity that transmigrates through various life forms.

probably when social learning allowed complex behaviors to be taught, shared, and learned

Wow so could we freeze frame this .00001 second in time? Seems likr there has to be an incremental, marginal moment where this change happened.

what premises might those be?

you could define a model where the tipping point was defined to be some arbitrary % of humans had some capacity, but that would be mostly meaningless

fair enough but point still stands....just from whatever organism did not have free will to that which did

stoned ape hypothesis: it happened via rapid neurogenesis when proto-humans started eating psychedelic mushrooms (which are very common in Africa, grow out of animal shit)

The jump wasn’t “great ape”—>human. Apes and humans share a common ancestor, but humans aren’t descended from apes. There were millions of years between that common ancestor and what we are today.

Also free will is total flame.
