Evolutionary emergence of consciousness?

Hello,

Could anyone offer reading recommendations about the emergence of consciousness from an evolutionary perspective? I’ve done a few Google searches on the topic but nothing really substantial turned up. Is this a research field (if not, why)? Who is working on it?

 

Thanks!

I'm not personally familiar with this work so cannot comment on its validity, but this seems like it may be a useful place to begin and start digging into references: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK231624/#
