This depends on how we define consciousness. If it means imagining and using simulations in which you represent yourself in order to plan your actions then maybe natural selection can "see" it. People who can't or don't plan by imagining themselves in various prospective scenarios and who don't have a theory of mind regarding other people are probably less successful at reproducing.
