Description

Explore the intersection of archaeology, history, and cognitive science in this groundbreaking volume from Altamira Press. While historians often focus on specific narratives and archaeologists rely on material remains, this book introduces a new way to study religious evolution through the lens of human cognition. Centered on Harvey Whitehouse's "modes of religiosity" theory, this work provides a framework for making comparisons across diverse cultures and time periods. The cognitive science approach allows scholars to find commonalities even when cultural data is limited. This volume brings together diverse perspectives to examine religious practices from prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies to 19th century Scandinavian Lutherans. It is an essential resource for those interested in how universal features of human cognition shape the way religions develop and persist throughout history.
