- W2112965664 abstract "How societies treat the bodies of their members, including when they are dead, tells us a great deal about them. Stone Age burials, like those of the Egyptian rulers, show respect for the dead and beliefs in an afterlife. In our contemporary global village the patenting of human tissue, and the public display of preserved corpses, reflect ways in which bodies have become yet another commodity in what prominent psychoanalyst Erich Fromm refers to as our ‘technicised’ society 1,2 (among other things, Fromm 2 looks at the relationship between society and necrophilia). A defining characteristic of humanity is our capacity for abstract thought, and our use of symbols to embody the meaning of the social reality which we construct. Rich in symbolism, rituals are integral to the milestones of life, especially birth and death, for ritual behaviour is ‘inevitably about time – its passage, its meaning, and its inexorable association with decay and death as well as with images of rebirth, reincarnation or regrouping’. 3 The humanity of Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) was confirmed by the discovery of artificially dug graves (no easy task using stone tools on rocky ground), indicating funeral rites of some type. 4 Stone Age burials too, including in southern Africa, show evidence of ritual and beliefs in an afterlife. Valuable goods were buried with the deceased, some gravestones were beautifully decorated, and bodies were positioned facing the rising sun in the east. 5" @default.
