Why and how have all human societies, since the beginning, taken care of their dead? Crossed perspectives of an archaeo-anthropologist and a historian of myths on all the ways of taming death, mourning and thinking about the afterlife…
How did our prehistoric ancestors conceive of death and the afterlife? Like a passage or like an end? Why and how have all human societies since the beginning, the first humans taken care of their deceased? Why so many funeral rites and what does that say about us? How have we always lived with our dead and what have been the thousand and one ways in which we have tried to tame death, to mourn and to think about the afterlife?
