I think that it is less simple than that, its a little like the question of environment, it shapes people but as they are being shaped by it they are shaping it too.
Ah yes, but I personally like to think of evolution in a more universal manner.
So as consciousness is a product of evolution, is therefor also part of evolution. And one must not look at consciousness being able to affect evolution, for it is evolution.
But that's a tangent for another topic and not a very interesting one at that. I was merely responding to the honey badgers interesting traits of survivability in harsh environments almost showing an immunity to responsibility. Or at the very least show how evolution and making sense of ones actions, does not require consciousness. Which is quite interesting when discussing evolution, but less so when discussing responsibility.
I suppose responsibility is merely one tool for advancement. One of many.
