Have you thought of joining 'Science Blogs?' I don't know whether there are any advantages. But, just a thought -- because DSW's blog is on it.Alinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-34626750902396609292010-10-14T03:51:53.621-04:002010-10-14T03:51:53.621-04:00Thanks Ali.

I think her evolutionary connection comes from the fact she is looking at proto-religious qualities in primates other than humans. <br /><br />If you are interested in the topic of the scientific study of religion, check out this lecture by David Sloan Wilson: <a href="http://scienceandreligion.hampshire.edu/pastlecture.php?id=wilson" rel="nofollow">Evolution and Religion</a>. This is from the first year of our lecture series.Salman Hameedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327330113822656571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-25301856126730703152010-10-13T00:35:25.500-04:002010-10-13T00:35:25.500-04:00Excellent talk.

And without mixing up prejudices and scientific findings. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this Salman. And many thanks to Professor Barbara King for presenting such a complex issue so clearly and so well. <br /><br />I wish I was in the audience for then, I would have asked her whether her talk was really about "EVOLUTIONARY" roots of religion -- if you know what I mean. :) Simply putting it as 'roots of religion or proto-religion' would have been more appropriate, i think. Puttin it as "Evolutionary" roots is the thing she was avoiding, I thought. <br /><br />Nevertheless, it was nicely done and an interesting talk.Alinoreply@blogger.com
