| Abstract | "What role has religion played in the major civilizational transformations associated with the Neolithic Revolution, the Axial Age, and Modernity? This book introduces new methodological tools and material insights for guiding conversations about these debates. The authors introduce a new branch of computational humanities, using computational modeling to simulate civilizational transformations. The book sheds new light on major debates among historians, archaeologists, and other social theorists on the role of religion within these major transitions"-- Provided by publisher. |
