The Neuropsychology of 'Animism': Implications for Understanding Rock Art [with comments]

Abstract

Animism has had a long and controversial history that has led to the topic being avoided as a subject of concern amongst scholars. Recently, however, there has been renewed interest in the subject, thanks both to a re-evaluation as to the significance of the concept and a redefining of the core principles involved. By assimilating this reappraisal with some recent insights with regard to neuropsychology, the authors show how the concept can be further supported and expanded, especially in relation to understanding how animism can help in the understanding of rock art.
