Description
How Religion Evolved And Why It Endures
Evolutionary psychologist Professor Robin Dunbar explores the origins of spiritual thought and the role of religion in human societies. He argues that religion is not a peculiar human quirk, but rather a fundamental aspect of our psychology that confers an advantage, fostering social bonding and individual health.
Drawing on path-breaking research, clinical case studies, and fieldwork from around the globe, Dunbar offers a fascinating analysis of the human impulse to believe and the enduring nature of religion.
