The evolutionary emergence of consciousness springs from the self-organizing organic structures... The emergence is due to the structures not to the materials
Given that a scientific explanation is one supported by the process described in the quote block, what replicated experiments have scientifically established that "consciousness springs from self-organizing structures" and is specifically "due to the structures"?
Consciousness
Evolution of consciousness: Phylogeny, ontogeny, and emergence from general anesthesia
Abiogenesis
In 2001, Louis Allamandola demonstrated that organic material can be synthesized in deep space using a "Chill vacuum chamber"--a lot of biomolecules: nitriles, ethers, alcohols, ring-like hydrocarbons, and others.[8] [9]
In a complementary experiment, Jennifer Blank at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory discovered that: "Through subsequent chemical analysis, the team discovered that the initial amino acids in the mixture had linked together to form peptides, from which proteins can be formed." [10]
In 2010, Craig Venter and his colleagues inserted a wholly artificial chromosome into a bacterial cell and created the first artificial life form (a.k.a. "dial-a-genome").[11] While it may seem like artificial abiogenesis, it nevertheless involved some major cheating: the artificial chromosome was constructed using gene sequences of an existing organism.
In 2011, Lee Cronin at the University of Glasgow is trying to start an evolutionary process in polyoxometalate-based "cells".[12]
In 2014, a group of researchers managed to produce all four components of RNA by simulating an asteroid impact in primordial conditions.[13]
A 2015 paper showed that the chemical precursors for the synthesis of amino acids, lipids and nucleotides, which would be required in a primitive cell, could have all arisen simultaneously through reactions driven by ultraviolet light. [14]
In 2015, the lander Philae discovered 16 organic compounds, four of which have never been detected on a comet before, on the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. Many of the organic compounds are important building blocks of life.[15] [16][17]
In 2015, NASA scientists studying the origin of life managed to reproduce uracil, cytosine, and thymine from an ice sample containing pyrimidine under conditions found in space. [18][19]
A 2016 study showed that the building blocks of life can be replicated in deep sea vents. These experiments have for the first time demonstrated that RNA molecules can form in alkaline hydrothermal chimneys.[20] [21]

I shall leave to you the chore to confirm whether replicative experiments were done, or what arose from peer reviews. [:D]
