Description

Wondrous Healing Shamanism, Human Evolution, and the Origin of Religion by James McClenon explores how ancient healing rituals may have led to the development of shamanism as humankind's first religion. The author argues that evolutionary processes developed a biological basis for religion, supported by his extensive research and firsthand observation of modern shamanistic performances across Asia and North America. This book offers historical and anthropological analyses of the relationship between science, society, and spirituality. Through McClenon's research, Wondrous Healing sheds light on the human capacity for religious belief and its connection to seemingly miraculous events such as faith healing and out-of-body experiences.
