In The Beginning: A New Theory Of The First Religion

Based on three types of artifact remains circa 100,000-6,000 BP, there is evidence of religious thinking and behavior that suggests a concern by early humans for the origin of their existence as well as that of animal and plant life. These areas of evidence are Neanderthal burial, European Paleolithic cave art, and female figures.These artifacts more than any other early endeavor reveal the human comprehension that the beginning of all life came from within the earth, including plant, animal, and human existence. The artifacts are convincing evidence of a single developed and long lasting geocentric (earth-centered) and gynocentric (female-centered) religious view. Comprehending the dynamics of this primal religious view that endured for nearly 100,000 years can contribute much to a better comprehension of the human condition. It can also lead to an appreciation of the long and poignant human search by forebears that has continued from the Paleolithic era into modern times to discover how all things have come into existence.
