The Evolution of Immortality is a book written by Samuel David McConnell in 1901. The book explores the concept of immortality and how it has evolved over time. McConnell examines various religious and philosophical beliefs about immortality, including those of ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as more modern ideas from Christianity and other religions. He also delves into scientific theories about immortality, such as the idea of eternal life through the preservation of the body or the transfer of consciousness into machines. Throughout the book, McConnell argues that the concept of immortality has been shaped by cultural and historical factors, and that our understanding of it continues to evolve. The Evolution of Immortality is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the history of ideas and the human quest for eternal life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
