He posits that archaic religion (or "the sacred"), particularly in its dynamics of sacrifice and ritual, is a neglected and major key to unlocking the enigma of "how we became human." French philosopher of science Michel Serres states that Girard's theory provides a Darwinian theory of culture because it "proposes a dynamic, shows an evolution and gives a universal explanation." This major claim has, however, reStudies in violence, mimesis, and culture.Social evolutionElectronic books.Social evolution.192.200398474Antonello PierpaoloGifford PaulMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461097503321How we became human2452317UNINA
