This book examines shamanism from evolutionary and biological
perspectives to identify the origins of shamanic healing in rituals
that enhance individual and group function. What does the brain do
during "soul journeys"? How do shamans alter consciousness and why
is this important for healing? Are shamans different from other
kinds of healers? Is there a connection between the rituals
performed by chimpanzees and traditional shamanistic practices? All
of these questions—and many more—are answered in Shamanism,
Second Edition: A Biopsychosocial Paradigm of Consciousness and
Healing. This text contains crosscultural examinations of the
nature of shamanism, biological perspectives on alterations of
consciousness, mechanisms of shamanistic healing, as well as the
evolutionary origins of shamanism. It presents the shamanic
paradigm within a biopsychosocial framework for explaining
successful human evolution through group rituals. In the final
chapter,"the author compares shamanistic rituals with chimpanzee
displays to identify homologies that point to the ritual dynamics
of our ancient hominid ancestors.
