Hei Bjørn,
you should check out Richard Swinburne's book
"The evolution of the soul".
Maybe you already know this, but Swinburne (who is
professor of philosophy in Oxford) is a commited
evolutionist and also a strong defender of a substance
dualist version of the mind/body problem.
You may find his writing interesting.
Regards, Inge
