Yet little attention has been given to the question of whether this universal human behavior might have been implanted in human nature. In this original and thought-provoking work, Nicholas Wade traces how religion grew to be so essential to early societies in their struggle for survival, how an instinct for faith became hardwired into human nature, and how it provided an impetus for law and government. \u003ci\u003eThe Faith Instinct\u003c\/i\u003e offers an objective and nonpolemical exploration of humanity's quest for spiritual transcendence.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Wade\u003c\/b\u003e received a BA in natural sciences from King's College, Cambridge.
