What consciousness is for the Darwinist?

Thinking is a hard problem for Darwinists. They seem to believe things that all our moves must to tagged to actions.  

What is consciousness? Is it in the brain?

Some evolutionists believe that a quantum collapse in the brain gives rise to consciousness and that consciousness creates the reality we see from the quantum world.

Is they believe that if physics explains all the phenomena in the universe, and if consciousness is part of the universe, then is seems that physics can explain consciousness,

This assumes that consciousness isn’t separate from the material reality that physics explains – which runs counter to René Descartes’s dualist view of mind and matter
