In a fast-paced narrative, packed with little known information as
well as widely accepted research, The Descent of Religion traces
the various stages of human evolution from the invention of sex to
the present stressing the essential matricentric nature of the
human species from its origin in evolutionary biology through its
historical and contemporary cultural expression. It takes the
reader through early human evolution from the perspective of the
Aquatic Ape Theory, then focuses on original religion, or what the
author calls organic religion, and makes the argument that it must
have been not only mothering-centred but thoroughly naturalistic a
matricentric concept of socialization for relating to everyone and
everything around us. She also discusses how matricentric and
androcentric religious belief systems evolved, clashed and
influenced culture right through to the present day. The book s
purpose is to open the eyes of a new generation to the exciting
possibilities inherent in occasionally jumping right out of the box
to take a fresh look at old problems, and hopefully the
understanding of our past will help us to find a viable,
sustainable path into the future. The book is as excellent a source
book for the intelligent conversationalist as it is for the student
of human origins.
