Bridget's remarks made me want to ask if anyone has read Julian Jaynes's
Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. I'm reading
it because I'm writing fiction set about 7000 years ago. He believes
consciousness is a more recent development than that, and I've been trying
to think about how I might choose to incorporate  his ideas into my
characters. It's a challenge. 
Cheers,
Chris.
