More about the book
Exploring the paradox of religious behaviors that diminish biological fitness, this book delves into practices like celibacy and asceticism observed across diverse cultures. It argues that these seemingly maladaptive behaviors stem from evolutionary traits of the human mind that enhance overall fitness. By examining the psychological features that give rise to such rituals, the author provides insight into the complex relationship between religion and human evolution.
