Abstract
In The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex, Darwin describes his concerns with the psychological effects of religion. He marvels that it can both promote – as well as interfere with – human functioning. In just one sentence from The Descent, we will see Darwin acknowledge that he does not know the phylogeny of religious beliefs; yet, he will proffer how religion is perpetuated. This same sentence describes how each individual’s lifespan development of religion is inculcated one brain at a time, a process I will summarize with the term: Culture Ontogeny.
