1. Like the ants that make up a colony, no single neuron holds complex information like self-awareness, hope or pride.
2. Although the human brain is not yet understood enough to identify the mechanism by which emergence functions, most neurobiologists agree that complex interconnections among the parts give rise to qualities that belong only to the whole.
3. Nonetheless, the sum of all neurons in the nervous system generate complex human emotions like fear and joy, none of which can be attributed to a single neuron.
4. Human consciousness is often called an emergent property of the human brain.

Answer: 4132 Para Jumbles TITA
Solution
- 4 opens: consciousness is called an emergent property of the brain.
- 1 illustrates emergence with the classic ant-colony analogy: no single neuron holds self-awareness, hope or pride.
- 3 follows with \"Nonetheless\": the sum of neurons generates emotions no single neuron accounts for.
- 2 concludes: although the mechanism isn't yet understood, neurobiologists agree interconnections give rise to qualities of the whole.
