Dogs Decoded Thoughts:
- Without dogs, civilization would not be where we are.
- How did we create this companionship with dogs?
- How do dogs react to blind people?
- What if the person is missing their face or has a cast on it?
- “he woofs, and we talk”
- are these provoking tests torturous to the animals?
- Oxytocin
- Dogs are domesticated wolves
- Better hunters with dogs
- The only other species that responds to pointing
- “fire breathing dragon has turned into a companion”f
- what about cats?
Pascal Boyer - Religion Explained
Religious practices that were once mysteries are not
becoming problems.
This is why, although bookshelves may be overflowing
with treatises on religion,
histories of religion, religious people's accounts of their ideas,
and so on, it makes sense to add to this and show how the intractable
mystery that was religion is now just another
set of difficult but manageable
problems.
things, that all human beings can easily acquire a certain range of
religious notions and communicate them to others.
Having a normal human brain does not imply that you have religion.
All it implies is that you can acquire it, which is very different.
acquisition and t:ransmission is that evolution by natural
selection
gave us a particular kind of mind so that only
particular kinds of religious
notions can be acquired.
