The Biology of Religion
Thursday, January 25th, 2007Author and philosopher Daniel Dennett recently gave an interview discussing his newly released book, Breaking the Spell.
As a biologist, I have a few problems with the meme concept as originally articulated by Dawkins and disseminated by Dennett and others. Nevertheless, the interview brings up very interesting cross-connections about religion in terms of biology and evolution.
