The article gave a good explanation of consciousness developing as a way of prioritizing and processing information. It also makes sense that projecting your own consciousness, or self-awareness, onto others makes for a useful social tool, but how does the prioritizing of attention lead to self-awareness? That may be a different question than the article was trying to tackle, but it's the only gap in what I felt was a very thorough article.
