Mirror neurons seem to be the primary mechanism of learning from other members of the group. So in a sense, every species able to learn from others (by replicating the behaviour) would automatically also be able to identify the "self"? This seems like a too broad "definition", but maybe it actually isn't at all (i.e., maybe learning by replicating is actually a "stronger" condition than knowing about self). When I mentioned the "itch", it was mainly about the reflex a lot of animals have, not a "conscious identification". Think about reflexively licking your lips when you see someone else get sauce/cream/beer-foam on their lips, or even the reflex of getting aroused when observing others being aroused?
