Publisher's Synopsis
""On Mankind their Origin and Destiny V1"" is a book written by Arthur Dyott Thomson that explores the origins and destiny of humanity. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of human history and evolution. The author begins by examining the various theories of human origins, including the biblical account of creation and the scientific theory of evolution. He then goes on to discuss the development of human society and culture, exploring topics such as language, religion, and art.Throughout the book, Thomson also considers the moral and ethical questions that arise from our understanding of human origins and destiny. He asks whether our existence has any ultimate purpose, and whether we have any responsibility to future generations. Ultimately, he argues that the study of human origins and destiny can help us to better understand ourselves and our place in the world.Overall, ""On Mankind their Origin and Destiny V1"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the big questions that have fascinated humanity for centuries. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and evolution of our species, as well as the philosophical and ethical implications of our existence.1872.

Hall's works, most notably Secret Teachings of All Ages. �������The origin and destiny of man are subjects which, though inseparably connected with each other, are usually treated of as distinct. In ancient times this was not the case. Theology was based upon such science as existed at that time, and Science and Theology were consequently in harmony with each other. This harmony has long ceased to exist.������� Partial Contents: State of Judaea; Masoretic Points; Explanation of the secret meaning of: the first chapter of Genesis, the second chapter, the third chapter; New Testament; Critical examination of the Gospel according to Matthew; Mythical elements in the first copies of Mark's gospel; Original disciples of John the Baptist; Gospels which are no longer in existence; Worship of nature; Sun the king of heaven; Tuscan cosmogony; Life of Osiris and Typhon; End of the World; Active and Passive forces of nature; Nature the first deity; Origin of man according to the ancients; Hindu and Hebrew Deluge; Esoteric teaching of Egyptian priests; Origin of man according to modern scientific views.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
