About The Book: The Pedigree of Man by Annie Besant explores the evolution of humanity from both a scientific and theosophical perspective. Besant blends Darwinian evolutionary theory with esoteric teachings, tracing the spiritual and physical development of human beings through various stages of existence. She discusses the concept of root races, cycles of reincarnation, and the progressive unfolding of human consciousness. The book emphasizes that humanity's journey is not merely physical but deeply spiritual, with each evolutionary step leading to greater awareness and unity with the divine. Besant also highlights the role of karma and reincarnation in shaping human destiny.
