Sinossi

Using established concepts from history, religion, anthropology, and newly developed concepts in neurobiology and archaeology, Creative Cultures integrates these disciplines into new and unique insights that reveal five cultures, both ancient and modern, whose beliefs continue to dominant our knowledge today. This book tells the story of why these five, interconnected cultures survived and why they shape our lives. Creative Cultures examines the history and evolution of beliefs from ancient through modern cultures using a particular lens. That lens is focused by new theories of how the brain functions(neurobiology). Using these theories of how the brain forms symbols and models, the book demonstrates why ancient cultures learned only through religious and spiritual concepts, which in turn eliminated other ways to learn. The growth of learning is followed from the time humans based insights almost exclusively on anthropomorphic models through to the modern techniques of the scientific technologies used for the advancement of knowledge in modern societies today. Knowledge generated from cultures that championed creativity, not only lead to modern societies but also have individuals with considerable personal freedom. For those interested in the role creative cultures in our future, the analysis examines unique learning processes that make unconscious thoughts into conscious ones. This transformation has been continuous and is still underway.
