Synopsis
Newly available in paperback, this brilliantly argued and elegantly written book examines the intricate web of belief, myth and society in the Neolithic period, continuing the story begun in the bestselling and critically acclaimed book The Mind in the Cave. Drawing on the latest research, the authors skilfully link material on human consciousness, imagery and religious concepts to propose provocative new theories about the causes of an ancient revolution in cosmology, the origins of social complexity and even the drive behind the domestication of plants and animals.

What Reviewers Are Saying
'Bold, provocative, scintillating ... a brilliant synthesis of archaeology and human neurology. The authors break new ground and give one food for thought on every page' - Professor Brian Fagan 'An engaging, well-written and erudite book, which makes many suggestive observations and provides stimulating reading' - British Archaeology 'An adventure in the archaeology of religion ... of wide interest to the professional world and perhaps of even wider interest among general readers' - Choice 'Gives us as clear a picture as I've seen of how the people of the New Stone Age thought, of the myths that sustained them and of what they really believed' - Sunday Telegraph
