More about the book
Exploring our hunter-gatherer roots, the book delves into the "paradoxical" perception that characterized early human consciousness, which became obscured by the advent of sedentary life and hierarchical structures. Berman examines the significance of Paleolithic art, the rise of social inequality, and the dynamics of child-rearing across cultures. Additionally, he investigates the relationship between women and agriculture, contemporary nomadic worldviews, and the development of "paradoxical" consciousness in 20th-century philosophy, offering a comprehensive analysis of human evolution.
