At some point in prehistory a proto-philosopher concluded that there must be more to human life than the physical body. There was a spark or spirit that made the difference between a living human and a human corpse. This conclusion might have been part of evolving belief in divine powers. As religions developed, the spark or spirit became identified with the soul. Some religions contended that the soul existed before the individual body, perhaps as part of a collective soul; various religions contended that the soul continues to exist after the death of the body.
