Ist Gott in den Genen zu finden?

Ist Religion gottlichen Ursprungs oder doch ein naturliches, also biologisches Phanomen? Und wenn Religion in unserer Biologie angelegt ist, wie und warum ist sie entstanden? Wie sehen ihre Anfange aus, die ja sehr einfach gewesen sein mussen Religion im Einzellerstadium sozusagen Wie entwickelte sie sich dann weiter, und lassen sich in dieser Entwicklung, wie bei der biologischen Evolution, Gesetzmassigkeiten feststellen? Anders ausgedruckt: Gibt es eine Biologie der Religionen beziehungsweise eine Biologie der Religionsentstehung?

Dieses Buch unternimmt erstmalig den Versuch einer umfassenden Antwort auf diese Fragen. Die Autoren Experten aus Biologie, Palaontologie, Psychologie, Religionswissenschaft und Theologie entwerfen auf der Basis facherubergreifender wissenschaftlicher Befunde ein Modell der Religionsentstehung, das das Aufkommen religioser Verhaltensweisen schlussig aus dem naturlichen Verhaltensrepertoire des Menschen erklart. So wird die menschheitsgeschichtliche Entwicklung von Religiositat plausibel und nachvollziehbar. Wer wissen will, wie Religion entstanden ist, wird in diesem breiten und sachkundigen Uberblick die Antwort finden.

Die Gotter fielen nicht vom Himmel die biologischen Grundlagen der Religionsentstehung

Religion ist ein universal verbreitetes Phanomen, und uberall auf der Welt pragen religiose Uberzeugungen politisches und gesellschaftliches Handeln. Viele Menschen wollen verstehen, warum Religion trotz aller rationalen Kritik fortbesteht, und fragen deshalb auch nach ihren Anfangen und ihrer Entwicklung in der Menschheitsgeschichte.

"Gotter Gene Genesis" ist der ehrgeizige Versuch dreier interdisziplinar arbeitender Autoren, den Ursprung von Religion schlussig und nachvollziehbar zu erklaren. Ihr Buch verfolgt insofern einen originellen Ansatz, als es den aktuellen kognitionswissenschaftlichen und evolutionar-psychologischen Entwurfen zur Erklarung der Religionsentstehung eine ganz bewusst verhaltensorientierte Perspektive entgegensetzt: Religioses Verhalten wird konsequent verhaltenswissenschaftlich ethologisch, biologisch, psychologisch erklart. Entscheidende Faktoren fur die fruhe Entwicklung von Religiositat sind Territorialverhalten und Gefahrenabwehr, innerartliche Aggression und Ritualisierung, Angstbewaltigung und Konfliktlosung sowie die kulturelle Evolution als Fortsetzung der biologischen Evolution. Mit der konsequenten Herausarbeitung der biologischen Grundlagen bietet das Buch einen Uberblick zur Religionsentstehung, der sehr viel bodenstandiger und oft auch im Wortsinne anschaulicher ist als manch andere, spekulative Entstehungsszenarien. Die Lekture des Buches vermittelt dem Leser fundierte Kenntnisse uber die Erscheinungsformen und Geschichte religiosen Verhaltens und liefert so einen wichtigen Beitrag fur die heute oft so emotional gefuhrte Debatte zu Glaubensfragen.
