RE: ADSactly History: The Bear Cult of the Primitive People
Great article. The presence of burial goods in non-human hominids does show a possible belief in an after-life and by corollary, a belief in the existence of of a soul. After all, something has to survive to experience the after-life.
The documentary Rise of the Warrior Apes has a poignant scene in which a chimp appears to be praying. Tantalizing possibility! Metaphysical beliefs may be a natural evolutionary development of primate intelligence.
The documentary you mention sounds quite interesting. I will look it up. Thanks for the info!
