description: The primitive roots of the mythology of the world are examined in the light of the most recent discoveries in archaeology, anthropology, and psychology.A monument of learning, wonder, and wisdom, daringly conceived and brilliantly written by a man who is at home in the Eastern and Western universe of spirit...In temporal span and spatial scope and in relevance to the needs of its own day, it is unexampled. - Henry A. Murray, Harvard UniversityCover design by Neil Stuart. Cover illustration: CAve drawing from Lascaux.
