Free Eggs to Order: Sunday Seminar with Joseph Manson

  • Congregation B'nai Emunah 1719 South Owasso Avenue Tulsa, Oklahoma 74120 USA (map)

Join us for Sunday morning breakfast and stay for a thought-provoking presentation by UCLA Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Dr. Joseph Manson, as he poses the question: Why are human beings religious?  Religion, in some form, is present in every known human society, and scholars have sought explanations for religion in the universal, evolved features of the human mind. Is the human tendency to perceive supernatural agents a by-product of cognitive adaptations for navigating social life?  Does religion serve to improve group cohesion and enforce pro-social behavioral norms, enabling groups to compete more effectively against other groups? Discuss these questions and more by reserving your spot for the breakfast seminar on the registration link.
