Using a mixture of historical documents, mythology, archaeological data, and ethnographic studies of contemporary shamans, this book builds a case for shamans being the driving force behind the blossoming of complex societies. It tells how shamans in East Asia are generally women, who used their access to the spirit world to take leadership roles.
