Description

Explore the deep connection between social life, human evolution, and religion with this academic work from Routledge. This book examines how rituals function across different cultures and time periods. By viewing rituals as mechanisms for resource management, the text provides a way to understand why specific practices exist and predicts which rituals are likely to survive over time. Rossano investigates how rituals emerged from the necessity to build and maintain social resources. These resources are what allow cooperative groups to stay together and thrive. The book offers a unique look at how ritual practices work to cultivate, mobilize, and direct the psychological resources of individuals within a group. It is a detailed study for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the evolutionary roots of human behavior.
