The reason I disagree is that because humans are grown in the womb and in this time all of their survival needs are thoroughly taken care of and since I don't believe the instant moment of birth to be the beginning of the experience of the soul consciousness it would seem natural to me that although hunger/thirst are indeed primary desires immediately beginning at birth there are in fact desires which would precede this in the womb.
Not a propulsion to a possibility?
Also, I suppose we would have to gauge the first "birth conditions" to really know what the first experiences of bodies being grown were.

The most provable primordial concept is eating and drinking and perhaps the most potent example in some cases.
Panpsychism has not been proven yet.
How about breathing?
I wouldn't be surprised if a resistance to drowning created souls.
In my understanding, every desire is fueled by a repulsion from a possibility and a soul to me is pure desire based on repulsions.
