Could near death experiences have coevolved with belief in an afterlife?


Maybe people who believe in an afterlife have more children on average (e.g., because they have a more positive view of life)?

And maybe near death experiences encourage belief in an afterlife within a community?

And so maybe the two coevolved?

Yes, at the primitive mamallian or premamallian level..
