Let’s talk about chromataphores on cephalopods and how with consciousness, a specimen can adapt in seconds to its visual surroundings in the same manner that takes other species generations to replicate.
It’s not the same as genetic evolution, but is in itself a genetic evolution.
Is this not a modern example of how consciousness can correlate to physiological changes? What other similar surprises will mutations conjure up...

And I’m not saying I’ve got the answers.. I’m merely pointing out what we don’t know and that what we don’t know may be more significant than we ever imagined.

Also I’m alluding to consciousness being a clue that life isn’t random.
