The Evolutionary emergentist paradigm explain the existence of sentience in this way:

• World is matter (materialism)
• Sentience is created by the combination of neurons in “brains” (or more precisely, in the Central Nervous System) where it emerges (Emergentist Monism)
• As a result of evolutionary pressures
