The cultural evolutionary processes outlined by Singh illuminate why ritualized behaviors aimed at controlling unseen forces and overcoming fear are common in warfare among many small-scale societies. They also suggest an explanation for the development of ritual specialists for war who are distinct from war leaders.
辛格所概述的文化进化过程解释了为什么在许多小规模社会的战争中,旨在控制看不见的力量和克服恐惧的仪式化行为是常见的。它们也为战争中与战争领袖不同的仪式专家的发展提供了一种解释。
