Overview of key theorists (Klein, Chomsky, Bickerton, Tattersall, Mithen, Coolidge & Wynn) and their theories on the Upper Paleolithic Cognitive Revolution.

Darwin’s views on the rapid pace of human evolution, driven by gene-culture interaction, reputation, language, and social institutions.

A comprehensive historical analysis of claims that Phoenician sailors reached the Americas before Columbus, examining evidence and scholarly debate from classical antiquity to modern times.

Comparative analysis of Eurasian ‘fall from grace’ myths suggesting a common proto-myth originating in the Paleolithic or early Holocene.

A review synthesizing evidence on how the Y chromosome influences human cognition, focusing on neurodevelopmental disorders, specific genes, brain structure, and evolutionary context.

Examines the surprising stability of mythic motifs over millennia, suggesting myths like the Cosmic Hunt or Serpent symbolism could encode memories of real cognitive shifts, supporting the Eve Theory’s timeframe.

Examines the historical and anthropological debate surrounding the concept of primordial matriarchy, from Bachofen’s theories to modern critiques and evidence.

Examines the evolutionary hypothesis that female-led selection pressures for social intelligence and self-domestication placed women at the vanguard of human evolution.

Analyzing Max Müller’s 19th-century work on serpent worship, focusing on his identification of serpent symbolism in Vedic and Indo-European traditions and comparing his findings with global serpent myths relevant to the Snake Cult hypothesis.

Comparison of the early Holocene emergence of the Aboriginal Dreamtime symbolic system with the Near East’s Neolithic ‘revolution of symbols,’ examining Australian rock art, technology, exchange networks, language diffusion, and cognitive impacts.

An anthropological examination of the bullroarer, arguing its global distribution and consistent ritual functions point to cultural diffusion from a common prehistoric origin.

A comprehensive epistemic analysis of the Eve Theory of Consciousness, detailing its gene-culture coevolution framework and evidence for the late emergence of recursive self-awareness.

A concise overview of the Sapient Paradox – the puzzling gap between when anatomically modern humans appeared and when behaviorally modern traits (like art, complex tools, symbolism) emerged.

A comprehensive analysis of the Sapient Paradox, synthesizing archaeological findings (tools, art, burials) with paleogenetics (brain-related gene sweeps, population bottlenecks) to evaluate theories for the delayed emergence of behavioral modernity.

An exploration of two theories on the origins of human consciousness: the Snake Cult/Eve Theory (snake venom) versus the Stoned Ape Theory (psilocybin mushrooms).

From Göbekli Tepe initiation lore to Orphic world-egg cosmology, tracing Herakles’ twin careers as Adamic hero and winged time-serpent.

A detailed exploration of the complementary roles of Cosmic Herakles (Chronos) and Dionysus Zagreus in Orphic theogony, myth, ritual praxis, and Neoplatonic interpretation.

A comprehensive, evidence-driven defence of the Eve Theory as the only evolutionary route to recursive self-awareness and language (i.e. the Wallace Problem).

Integrating Thomas Froese’s insights on intersubjectivity and enactivism with the Eve Theory of Consciousness to provide a novel perspective on the Hard Problem of consciousness and the evolution of subjective experience.

How Cosmic-Herakles sets the wheel of time while Dionysus turns it toward liberation in Orphic-Bacchic cults.

Why the blank-slate claim that cognition hasn’t evolved since the Upper Palaeolithic fails basic population genetics—and what ancient DNA now shows.

Deep synthesis of Tom Froese’s Ritualised-Mind Hypothesis and Andrew Cutler’s Eve/Snake-Cult Theory, resolving the Sapient Paradox through ritual-mediated recursion, female agency, and gene–culture sweeps.

Snake-shaped Zeus in chthonic cults, Orphic theogony, and Stoic ekpyrosis, mapped onto the Herakles–Dionysus macro-/micro-myth.

An exploration of the serpentine creator deities Nüwa and Fuxi in Chinese mythology and their parallels in world mythologies.

A comprehensive review exploring the concept of the ’narrative self’ across philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and literary theory.

A comprehensive analysis of evidence and scholarly debate surrounding pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact between the Americas and Old World civilizations.

Exploring the evolution of self-awareness through Genesis, John’s Logos, Gnosticism, and sacrificial myths, linking the Edenic serpent to Christ and the birth of the conscious self.
