I see people interested in "primitive" forms of ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ/๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐/๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ across animal groups that might not have a stronger neuro background (say, philosophers). Highly recommend The Evolution of the Sensitive Soul by Ginsburg and Jablonka

Good podcast on ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, reductionism, physicalism, etc. with Jessica Wilson discussing her book on emergence. This one is more for philosophers and aficionados ๐คฃ J Wilson is not convinced by stronger versions of emergence, fair enough.
