Nothing that special. Consciousness can also be attained via computer AI, both processes are mechanical.
Btw, evolution says nothing about progress. I don't see how those hippies would be any more advanced than their forefathers. In Fact, we are pretty much identical to our 10,000 year old ancestors. The only thing that has changed is our reservoir of knowledge.
But if one thinks creatively you can see that we are evolving externally instead of internally, because our survival systems are based on external factors and not our inner or physical factors.

Whatcha think?

Why do you think we are evolving externally? Perhaps our mental capacity is what is evolving - the physical form we are now in may be adequate while the mind evolves.

Natural evolution for man stopped when we started controlling our environment. Our reservoir of knowledge is the result of our mental evolution - don't you think?
