London Anthropology Talks every Tuesday evening
Hedgehog | 26.08.2012 18:05 | Culture | Gender
Researchers into the origins of human language, mythic narrative and ritual have recently made exciting new discoveries. It is now known that symbolic culture began emerging in Africa some 100,000 years ago, in a social revolution whose echoes can still be heard in mythic narratives and ritual traditions from around the world.
