Excerpt from Human Dissection: Its Drama and Struggle One of the first concepts conceived by the primitive of the distant past, was that of a soul, not only for himself, but for all living creatures and inanimate objects as well. The notion of immortality was born early in his evolution and it has never been neutralized completely through the intellectual ages of man, in which he has dealt with magic, religion and science, in that order. Since the post-mortem state has remained so unfathomable, it is possible that, through wishful thinking alone, the feeling about this spiritual essence may either survive for many centuries or per manently in human minds. The Opinions which have had the longest past usually have the most prolonged future. Ghosts, both good and bad, a product Of man's imagination, have been with us from the beginning. Although little or no at tention has been paid to the ones regarded as beneficial, those judged to be vengeful and vindictive have exerted much in fluence; they have acted as a whiplash to human behavior and thinking.
