14:34Now PlayingIs religion an advantageous play style spec'd into with evolution points? Is it a bug in the game? Could it be both?
Here, we discuss the questions surrounding the evolution of religion: How did religion evolve? Did religion evolve? Are animals religious? With some help from TierZoo, as well as academics like Jonathan Haidt, Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett, I dive into competing hypotheses about the evolution of human religion. Primarily, I focus on Emile Durkheim's Adaptationism championed by Haidt, as well as Richard Dawkin's Memetics upheld by Dennett and Susan Blackmore. Where did religion come from? Hopefully this video will get you closer to the answer.
