Inside the Neolithic Mind: Consciousness, Cosmos and the Realm of the Gods
Goes to the heart of contemporary arguments about the "primitive" and the "modern" minds, and draws new social, anthropological, and ethnographic conclusions about the nature of ancient societies.
How did ancient peoplesۥthose living before written recordsۥthink? Were their thinking patterns fundamentally different from ours today? Researchers over the years have certainly believed so. Along with the Aborigines of Australia, the indigenous San people of southern Africaۥamong the last hunter-gatherer societies on Earthۥbecame iconic representatives of all our distant ancestors and were viewed as either irrational fantasists or childlike, highly spiritual conservationists.Country | USA |
