A Darwinian model of the evolution of symbolic culture, the Female Cosmetic Coalitions model, provides theoretical grounding for the earliest androgynous and therianthropic religious representations and provides theoretical confidence as to the long-term survival of symbols. An analogy between simple shapes and human genitalia expresses the fusion of male and female. The background is the transition from hunting and gathering to farming; power relations are presented as changing from an 'original social contract' underpinned by female ritual power, to a 'new social contract' driven by competing male elites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Estelle Orrelle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407312235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407312231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.79d","brand":"Estelle Orrelle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925470216447,"sku":"9781407312231","price":102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dadf9a15-c122-48d2-bdde-5494b7a64e81.jpg?v=1681077462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/material-images-of-humans-from-estelle-orrelle-9781407312231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
