Synopsis
In earlier works on patterns of religious dissemination and political association, Whitehouse (anthropology, Queen's U., Belfast) concentrated on the consequences of particular psychological processes. Here he concentrates more heavily on the underlying psychological processes themselves, substantially extends his theory's cognitive foundations, and distinguishes what is known about religious transmission from what is still to be learned.
