This book traces the emergence and development of this idea through the very texts and traditions that shaped it.

And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close to mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked.

And He went away.” –Kurt Vonnegut, ...
