The primate believer proposes a crucial and fascinating debate between religion and science, dealing with a series of questions about the origin of religion in human nature and its foundation in reason. From a clearly interdisciplinary perspective, the reader will be stimulated by the questions that arise here and that arise after more than a century of debate between religion and the human sciences, in which one has gone from looking for the religious interpretations of the Evolution to raise, giving a twist to the subject, evolutionary interpretations of religion. The book begins with an introduction that reviews the theoretical landscape and comments on the most important points of each of the religious and scientific areas, and continues with a series of chapters that describe and defend various approaches to explain religion from an evolutionary perspective. Finally, some sections - which include contributions from philosophers, theologians, and behavioral scientists - grapple with the implications of current theories.
