"Just when the evolution of the intellectual level from the social level took
place in history can only be speculated on" (RMP)
"Cavemen are usually depicted as hairy, stupid creatures who dont do much,
but anthropological studies of contemporary primitive tribes suggest that stone
age people were probably bound by ritual all day long. Theres a ritual for
washing, for putting up a house, for hunting, for eating and so onso much so
that the division between ritual and knowledge becomes indistinct. In
cultures without books ritual seems to be a public library for teaching the
young and preserving common values and information.
These rituals may be the connecting link between the social and intellectual
levels of evolution." (RMP, Lila, Cap. 30)
