Origins of the Worlds Mythologies
This remarkable book is the most ambitious work on mythology since that of the renowned Mircea Eliade, who all but single-handedly invented the modern study of myth and religion. Identifying features shared by this Out of Africa mythology and its northern Eurasian offshoots, Witzel suggests that these common myths--recounted by the communities of the African Eve--are the earliest evidence of ancient spirituality. Focusing on the oldest available texts, buttressed by data from archeology, comparative linguistics and human population genetics, Michael Witzel reconstructs a single original African source for our collective myths, dating back some 100,000 years.
Witzel's book is an intellectual hand grenade that will doubtless generate considerable excitement--and consternation--in the scholarly community. Moreover these common features, Witzel shows, survive today in all major religions.
