Kind of like the Presocratics before Socrates and Plato, these scientists of the unconscious were precursors for Freud, Jung, and many others.

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/violence-and-the-sacred-rene-girard/ At the beginning of human communities there is a mystery surrounding how our ancestors created human societies and religions. Some theories focus on how human groupings aid survival for individual human families. Others focused on how a larger brain allowed the ability to understand the intentions of others, and hence group coordination. With a larger brain and the ability to reflect, early humans could reflect on their place in human society, mortality, and the meaning of life. Being able to benefit from shared knowledge, made humanity flourish. Yet despite the benefits of increased group living, humans have always had a sense of danger that came with the price of living in groups. One theory in particular, by the social science philosopher René Girard, clarified the reflective part of the mind that allows for humans to learn from others. He called it mimetics, or the ability to imitate.
