Yeah, self preservation implies an awareness of one's own existence and a desire to maintain it.

You don't need awareness or desire for that. Life is almost tautological; the chemical sequences that happened to be best at persisting and replicating are the ones that, you know, persisted and replicated. And then the best of those did the same, and so forth. This isn't necessarily specific to life, either. Basic evolution simulators have been a thing in code for decades.

Incidentally, I wish I could find this old java applet where it just set a few parameters and let things take off from there, with no weighing or priority otherwise. Every time, without fail, the random "animal" blips would end up becoming sperm-shaped, because that was the most efficient way to both get the random "food" blips, and to reproduce when coming into contact with other animals.
