this psychologist julian jaynes suggested in 1976 that up until the bronze age collapse (1000BCE), any kind of stressful situation would trigger auditory hallucinations that would instruct individual humans on what to do. the brain had a speaking part that created these hallucinations and an obeying part that performed the actions. this prevented some brain functions we are familiar with, such as introspection and conscious autobiographical memory, but still allowed for the creation of art and early civilization. ultimately, jaynes suggests that advances in the complexity of language and environmental problems caused a move toward our modern consciousness.
