Roy A. Rappaport mantiene que la religión es fundamental para la evolución de la vida, aunque se haya visto desplazada de su posición original de autoridad intelectual por el auge de la ciencia moderna. Ritual y religión en la formación de la humanidad aboga por que la religión puede y debe conciliarse con la ciencia. En este trabajo se combinan diferentes planteamientos sobre el estudio del género humano y se presenta un completo análisis sobre el significado evolutivo de la religión. Rappaport considera tan importante la religión como la invención del lenguaje y, por tanto, de la cultura tal y como la conocemos. Además, realiza un detallado estudio sobre el componente principal de la religión, el ritual, que elabora concepciones que asumimos como religiosas y que han resultado fundamental para la capacidad de adaptación de la humanidad.

One of the critical issues of our time is the planet's dwindling capacity to provide life support for a large and growing human population. Managing for Healthy Ecosystems identifies key issues that must be resolved if there is to be progress in this complex area. It investigates evolving methods for regional ecosystem health assessment, issues and methods for assessing, monitoring, and managing diversity, and presents case studies that show practical approaches to integrating the socio-economic, ecological, and human health implications of environmental degradation. The wide spectrum of information and transdisciplinary focus provided will be invaluable to environmental resource managers and researchers.
