Good news ...

... Nothing is ever lost: an interview with Robert Bellah � The Immanent Frame. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

The purpose of the book is to show how deeply historical—beyond what we normally think of as history, or even prehistory—and how biological human religion is. We have to understand ourselves as a part of the narrative of evolution. And evolution never stops. The notion that human evolution at some point stopped and “history” took over is absurd, though it is widespread among various social scientists and humanists.
