Some type of government.
Mathmatics of some sort.
Reading skills.
Education.
And so on, which is why I do not view animals or primordal man as conscious beings.

I think animals are also Consciousness, even a rock is Consciousness, now self consciousness is totally different, this is when we are conscious that we are Consciousness, an animal doesn't have to do this because it is already that, it doesn't need to know that, it doesn't need to know that it is that, it doesn't need to go to some religious organization to find that it is that, you see ?, now you are conscious of what I have just shared, but again an animal doesn't need to know what I have just shared.
