For example, in anthropology there is a reaserch field about how this thing called consiusness is socially build. Examples of feral children found in the wilderness show the kind of consciousness given by the experience of being reared by dogs, wolves or apes but not the kind of consiusness build up by human society. Once the have human social experiences they develop a kind of human social consiousness.
I think we may possibly be confusing a particular shaping of consciousness with consciousness itself. Consciousness itself is essentially an all or nothing proposition, although it can be shaped/molded. It can be dimmed, brightened, expanded, contracted, or essentially shaped in any way but the primary "substance" of consciousness itself remains the same.
