Biologische Evolution und Menschwerdung

Abstract

Biological evolution and human development: Evolution of man as a prerequisite of biological evolution and reincarnation as its consequences. Evolution is taken as a self-reliable process without external (theistic) intervention that on the one hand expands and brings about new qualities and traits and on the other hand preserves and brings forward its essential core. If human beings are understood as autonomous agents with the capacity of individual self-determination and free will, then human evolution is a prerequisite of biological evolution and reincarnation its consequence. Hence the concept of reincarnation seamlessly carries on fundamental qualities of the development of man.
