The Birth of the Gods and the Origins of Agriculture - New Studies in Archaeology
Cauvin, Jacques (Institut de France, Paris)
This innovative 2000 study of the great cultural and economic changes in the Near East between 10,000 and 7,000 BC as Palaeolithic societies of hunter-gatherers gave way to village communities of Neolithic food-producers argues that the Neolithic revolution must be understood as an intellectual transformation, revealing itself in symbolic activities.
