Overview
This book is a multi-disciplinary overview of the evolution of human symbolic culture. Did human language, art, music, and religion emerge through a revolution, or was it a slow, incremental process? Human language lets us express an almost infinite range of meanings, and there's nothing quite like it in the rest of the animal kingdom. However, in terms of compassion and intelligence, some species rival humans. This book looks at some of these parallels and convergences, as well as whether human 'madness' is just a social construct, or if it's roots lay a lot deeper in the human story. Could 'madness' have actually been key in spawning symbolism? What would this mean for social control as societies, and civilisations emerged and developed?
