You may find "Consciousness and the Social Brain" by Michael S. A. Graziano quite interesting. It provides an evolutionary path of development for this phenomenon. In short: Consciousness is the "theory of mind"-"mechanisms" (which developed prob. first) targeted at the subject itself to gauge social interaction more precisely. Cheers
