Consciousness is a property of advanced brains and as such a biological feature. Explaining biological features is somewhat different from explaining physical phenomena; in the former case, the key is to first define its functional role (the reason why it was selected) and then to outline the evolutionary trajectory leading to its presence. In the case of consciousness, there are reasonable models for both. Further research is required to substantiate these models, but they offer, arguably, the best explanatory framework.
意识是高等大脑的一种属性，因此是一种生物学特征。解释生物学特征与解释物理现象有所不同；在前一种情况下，关键是首先定义其功能作用（它被选择的原因），然后勾勒出导致其出现的进化轨迹。就意识而言，这两方面都有合理的模型。需要进一步研究来证实这些模型，但可以说，它们提供了最好的解释框架。
