What can material culture of humans and chimpanzees tell us about religion? A Study in cognitive archaeology and cognitive science of religion
Original language description
Cognitive archaeology is a relatively recently established scientific discipline. It focuses on the study of the development of mental capacities as inferred from material remains. Cognitive archaeology and cognitive science of religion presume the unityof human mental capacities since the prevalence of the anatomically modern human. Both cognitive archaeology and cognitive science of religion propose that religion is very closely connected with those capacities. Considering the biological evolution ofspecies, this study will try to examine this proposal by analyzing the material culture of anatomically modern humans, especially from the Upper Palaeolithic, and chimpanzees. The comparison of the material and behavioral differences between humans andchimpanzees can tell us much about the cognitive capacities of anatomically modern humans and their connection to religion.
