> Jaynes built a case for this hypothesis that human brains existed in a bicameral state until as recently as 3000 years ago by citing evidence from many diverse sources including historical literature [...] For example, in the Iliad and sections of the Old Testament Greek and Semitic societies were in close contact 3000 years ago so a trend towards unicamerality would be intertwined, but I'm wondering about societies separated from the West until later such as China which didn't begin contacts with the West until about 2000 years ago after being cut off for over 50,000 years. Was Confucius (2500 years ago) conscious? If so, then it seems such bicameral mind breakdown evolved separately in West and East.
