Synopsis

Book by Oubre Alondra

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Instinct and Revelation revolves around the hypothesis that ritual behavior and imaginative awareness in early hominids may have helped to spawn the evolution of the human brain and human consciousness. Using an integral perspective comparable with systems theory, the book carefully interweaves fact and theory from physical and cultural anthropology, psychobiology and the brain sciences, psychology, and to a lesser degree, eastern philosophy. This book breaks from tradition by discussing from a primarily anthropological perspective the origin of human consciousness within a philosophical framework that embraces precepts from human evolution, evolutionary psychology, the neurosciences, biocultural anthropology, and cultural symbolic anthropology.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This fascinating study revolves around the hypothesis that ritual behaviour and imaginitive awareness in early hominids may have helped to spawn the evolution of the human brain and of human consciousness.
