Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: Emergentist Creation of Human Consciousness

Summary/Abstract: There are various approaches to the study of human consciousness. P. Teilhard de Chardin was interested in the paleontological research of the evolution which led to the emergence of human consciousness. His goal was to find a common ground for scientific, philosophical and theological explanations. He observes a great „explosion” in the life-style of the first humans while in the rest of nature is relative stability. New developments in paleontology and new models of Darwinian evolution suggest that the „explosion” might not be that sudden or instantaneous as Teilhard thought, but rather gradual, with faster allopatric speciation of Homo under the stress of varying living conditions. A deeper analysis of the most recent explanations of the evolution reveals a great harmony (fine-tuning) in-between innumerable physical and biological components needed for the emergence and existence of human species, especially of Homo sapiens.
