This book, the third in the author's series examining the impact of symbols on human behaviour, boldly corrects the record on the interpretation of James George Frazer's classic work, The Golden Bough. Frazer presented how symbolism affects humanity from beginning to end, and Edgar Ridley author takes on Frazer's critics, such as A.B. Cook and Theodore Gaster. In this volume, the author reminds the reader that symptomatic thought and behaviour have shaped every aspect of the genome and has controlled how genes operate throughout the world.
