Overview

Evolution of self-awareness is hypothetically based on

– ecological,

– interpersonal,

– extended,

– private, and

– conceptual self-knowledge.

Neuronal correlate of self-awareness might be brain´s default (intrinsic) network. Its core regions are

– ventromedial prefrontal cortex,

– posterior cingular/retrosplenial cortex,

– inferior parietal lobule,

– lateral temporal cortex,

– dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, and

– hippocampal formation.

High heritability exists for default-mode functional connectivity but its hubs are under dynamic cultural influences too.

Key words:
self-awareness, evolution, default network.
