1 EXP 0003-S - The Origins of Religion Spring, 2012 Dr. Paul Cassell Course description What is religion? Why is it such an important and universal feature of human culture? In this class, we will examine and evaluate the material culture of prehistoric religion, its interpretation, and current theories of religion and human origins. How has human evolution created the conditions for religious experience and forms of social organization? What role might religion have played in early Homo sapiens development? Class content should help us understand why religion seems to be tied so deeply to what is fundamental to our humanity, and gain a perspective for evaluating the place of religion in human life. Student evaluation Students will be graded on four tasks: a 5-page paper analyzing the key components of religion (20%); a 7 minute oral presentation on a cutting study dealing with neuroscience/genetics and religion (20%), a 10 page paper that will allow the student to investigate further any theme we have developed in the course, requiring outside research (35%). In addition, quality of preparedness and engagement in class participation will be graded (25%). Papers and presentations will be graded with reference to style (clarity, spelling, grammar, transitions, citations) 1/3; structure (thesis statement, development, examples, conclusion) 1/3; content (addresses question, intellectual competence and creativity, satisfies length) 1/3.
