This books sets out to explain how and why religion came into
being. Today this question is as fascinating as ever, especially
since religion has moved to the centre of socio-political
relationships. In contrast to the current, but incomplete
approaches from disciplines such as cognitive science and
psychology, the present authors adopt a new approach, equally
manifest and constructive, that explains the origins of religion
based strictly on behavioural biology. They employ accepted
research results that remove all need for speculation. Decisive
factors for the earliest demonstrations of religion are thus
territorial behaviour and ranking, coping with existential fears,
and conflict solution with the help of rituals. These in turn, in a
process of cultural evolution, are shown to be the roots of the
historical and contemporary religions.
