- Religion Explained: The Evolutionary Origins of Religious Thought is a book by anthropologist Pascal Boyer that discusses the evolutionary origins of religious concepts. Through an examination of the mind's inference systems - how they work and how they have been shaped over time - Boyer suggests explanations of how it is that we have the religious concepts we do, and why they have been so culturally successful. Boyer presents evidence from many specialized disciplines including anthropology, cognitive science, linguistics and evolutionary biology to support the idea that a naturalistic explanation of religion is possible, and suggests that such an approach is necessary if the field and study of religion is going to make progress.
- Et l'homme créa les dieux : Comment expliquer la religion est un essai de l'anthropologue Pascal Boyer qui traite des origines des concepts religieux au moyen de l'approche évolutionniste. À travers l'examen des systèmes d'inférence – comment ils fonctionnent et comment ils ont été formés par l'évolution –, Boyer explique comment les êtres humains ont leurs concepts religieux, et pourquoi ces derniers ont été si couronnés de succès sur le plan culturel. Boyer tire ses arguments et ses preuves de plusieurs disciplines, telles que l'anthropologie, les sciences cognitives, la linguistique et la biologie évolutionniste. Il en ressort qu'une explication naturaliste de la religion est possible; de plus, cette approche est nécessaire pour réaliser des progrès dans l'étude des religions.
