In the lives of early hominides, accidental death would like have been commonplace. Whatever the fatal maimings and disembowelments. however, and whatever the sense of no-moreness, a concept of death as inveitable, as mine, and as the lot of all living creatures would not have been thereby grasped. On the contrary, there might well have been a vague sense that "barring such a fate, I will go on 'forever'" In other words, only with experiences of natural death might the concept of death have taken root. Only through such experiences might it have been realized that a certain nullifying fate was inevitable and mine.

In the appearance of the-Other-in-death, a no-moreness of similarity is set against a persistence of similarity. It is of course an initial sense of likeness that awakens both - the still resonating and the dilute similarity of self to Other.
