The article is a book review of "How Religion Evolved And Why it Endures" by Robin Dunbar. The reviewer discusses Dunbar's exploration of the evolution and persistence of religion, focusing on topics such as supernatural agency, ritual, and the role of religion in creating communities. The reviewer notes that Dunbar's perspective differs from some other scholars in the field, particularly in his dismissal of group selection and his emphasis on individual-level benefits of religion. Overall, the book is seen as an important addition to the field, although the reviewer suggests other texts for readers seeking a more comprehensive understanding of the cognitive and evolutionary accounts of religion.
