Comment on Radek Kundt`s “Contemporary Evolutionary Theories

As far as Kundt’s book is concerned, we have to emphasise the fact that Kundt not only critically reviews the most popular evolutionary approaches per se, but is also mainly interested in one special subdiscipline of the study of relig ...
