Assuming panpsychism [P] is a thing, we need to work out its appearance in life. For now, let’s call it an instinct, a built in fact of life as a source of behaviors. P would fall in line with other instincts of primordial times from 4.2 billion years ago.

An excellent write up on this little known site. What a thrill it would be to visit, just to be there amid the spirits of ancestors.
