Combining adaptive and cognitive approaches, it is a comprehensive analysis of religion's evolutionary significance, and its inextricable interdependence with language. It is also a detailed study of religion's main component, ritual, which constructs the conceptions that we take to be religious and therefore central in the making of humanity's adaptation. The text amounts to a manual for effective ritual, illustrated by examples drawn from a range of disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45116553461911,"sku":"9780521296908","price":3297.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521296908.webp?v=1767271827","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ritual-and-religion-in-the-making-of-humanity-9780521296908","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
