Is Religion a Flawed Play Style for Humans? (feat. TierZoo)

Like and subscribe. This is an archive channel, i'm not the owner of the content, check the link in the end. Is religion an advantageous play style spec'd into with evolution points? Is it a bug in the game? Could it be both?
Here, we discuss the questions surrounding the evolution of religion: How did religion evolve? Did religion evolve? Are animals religious? With some help from TierZoo, as well as academics like Jonathan Haidt, Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett, I dive into competing hypotheses about the evolution of human religion. Primarily, I focus on Emile Durkheim's Adaptationism championed by Haidt, as well as Richard Dawkin's Memetics upheld by Dennett and Susan Blackmore. Where did religion come from? Hopefully this video will get you closer to the answer.

A huge thanks to TierZoo for lending a hand! Subscribe to his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHsRtomD4twRf5WVHHk-cMw
