Inhaltsangabe:
The volume now published explains in its first part an hypothesis that the human raee has descended from some ape-like stock by a series of changes which began and, until recently, were maintained by the practice of hunting in pack for animal food, instead of being content with the fruits and other nutritious products of the tropical forest. The hypothesis occurred to me many years ago, and was first published (in brief) inT heM etaphysics of Nature (1805), Chap. XIII., and again inN atural andS ocial Morals (1909); but all it implied did not become clear until, in lecturing on Comparative Psychology, there was forced upon me the necessity of effecting an intelligible transition from the animal to the human mind, and of not being satisfied to say year after year that hands and brains were plainly so useful that they must have been developed by Natural Selection. Then one day the requisite ideas came to light; and an outline of the hypothesis was read at theM eeting of theB ritish Association (S ection H) at Birmingham in 1913, and printed in Man, November 1914. The Council of the Anthropological Institute has kindly consented to my using the substance of that article in the first chapter here following. The article in Man dealt chiefly with the physical changes which our race has undergone. The correlative mental changes were explained in theB ritish Journal of Psychology in an article which supplies the basis of the second chapter of this book.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 'The Origin of Man and of His Superstitions,' Carveth Read presents a meticulous exploration of the intersection between human evolution and the genesis of belief systems. Written in a style that deftly combines rigorous philosophical argumentation with accessible prose, the book delves into how primitive beliefs have evolved alongside humanity itself. Distinguished by its synthesis of anthropology, psychology, and metaphysics, Read advocates for a rational understanding of superstition, asserting that such phenomena are deeply rooted in our biological and social evolution, thus situating the work within the broader context of early 20th-century discourse on human nature and societal development. Carveth Read, a prominent figure in the fields of philosophy and anthropology, was deeply influenced by the scientific advancements of his time, particularly Darwinian theory and emerging psychological insights. His scholarly background and critical examination of existing theories regarding human consciousness and belief systems uniquely positioned him to tackle the perplexing relationship between humanity's innate instincts and their often irrational superstitions, providing a rich foundation for his arguments. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the philosophical underpinnings of human nature and the evolution of belief. Read's incisive arguments provide valuable insights for both scholars and laypersons, encouraging a reflective inquiry into how history and psychology shape our contemporary understandings of belief and superstition. 220 pp. Englisch.

The Origin of Man and of His Superstitions (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique hypothesis that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors due to the adoption of hunting as their primary means of sustenance, millions of years ago. The author argues that this shift towards carnivory led to a series of profound physical and mental adaptations that gradually differentiated humans from their simian relatives. Drawing upon diverse fields such as anthropology, zoology, and psychology, the book explores the evolutionary consequences of hunting, including the development of an upright gait, specialized hands for tool-making, and enhanced cognitive abilities. It also delves into the emergence of social cooperation, language, and the origins of superstition and animism as humans navigated the challenges of their new hunting lifestyle. The author's hypothesis provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the evolution of humanity, tracing the interconnectedness of our physical, mental, and social traits to our ancestral hunting practices. This book offers a fresh perspective on human origins, shedding light on the unique path that led to the development of our species. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331983101_0
