内容説明

This is an attempt to explain the origins of religion using what we know about the evolution of cognition. A cognitive anthropologist and psychologist, the author argues that religion is a by-product of human evolution just as the cognitive intervention, cultural selection, and historical survival of religion is an accommodation of certain existential and moral elements in the human condition - elements that have arisen through evolution.
