WINNER OF THE CAROL R. EMBER BOOK PRIZE FOR SCIENTIFIC
ANTHROPOLGYSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 BRITISH ACADEMY BOOK PRIZE From
fire walking to funerals, the hidden science of the rituals that
give life meaningRitual is perhaps the oldest, and certainly the
most enigmatic, thread in human culture. Apparently pointless
ceremonies pervade every documented society: from handshakes to
hexes, hazings to parades.Before we learned to farm, we were
gathering in giant stone temples. And yet, though rituals exist in
every culture and can persist nearly unchanged for centuries, their
logic has remained a mystery until now. Today, a fearless new
generation of anthropologists is venturing into this shadowy
realm.Armed with cutting-edge technology and drawing on discoveries
from a huge range of disciplines, they emerge with a powerful new
perspective on our place in the world. Join the pathfinding
scientist Dimitris Xygalatas on a tour of human culture at its
strangest. In coronations, in silent prayer, in fire-walks and in
all the bewildering variety of humanity's ritual life, Xygalatas
reveals the deep and subtle mechanisms that bind us together.
