cortical mantle is responsible for the "higher" brain functions

EASY!!! In order for something to be self aware it must have a brain (or more specifically a brainstem and the beginnings of a spinal cord).
Hmmm' can you give me a source, because I would be curious as to who has established when and where consciousness, or self awarness ,begins or originates.While its true that the cortical mantle is responsible for the "higher" brain functions there is no proof where self awareness originates. Now there are incomplete and untestable theorys, none have been accepted as fact.
