Samunoka: Religion is a step toward sience. It's how we attempt to explain the worlddadand have some kind of control over. The most extraordinary version of this, i discovered, is a something called sin eaters. This was the village sin eater who wald come and sort of deal with your sins, in effect, after you died. Samunoka: Why would you expect einstang to have figured out relativity before einstang?

Instead of debunking religious beliefs, what if we investigated where religion comes from, and why it’s virtually universal across human cultures? Anthropologist and “How Religion Evolved And Why It Endures” author Robin Dunbar joins Adam to discuss the origins of religion. He describes how touch, laughter, and song bonded people together, and the social role of religious rituals such as sin-eating.
