      Hi Cookie,

      Well that is a tricky one! I only study the heart, not the brain but I don’t think even the brain people know much about it. At some points our brains built in circuits that were so complicated that we are able to became aware of ourselves, and that is how consciousness started. But not much else is known about how, or exactly when or why. Hard question!
