KEPERCAYAAN DAN RITUAL DALAM MASYARAKAT NOMADEN: MENELUSURI AKAR PEMIKIRAN PRIMITIF

Abstract

This article discusses how to understand the origins of primitive society's thinking, which is the key to uncovering the intellectual development of prehistoric humans. We explore how the beliefs, rituals and mythology of indigenous tribes form the basis for the formation of their framework of thought. We trace the evolution of human adaptations from hunting and gathering to farming, which influenced the way they saw and understood the world. Language, symbols and local knowledge also play an important role in spreading and passing down primitive thinking from generation to generation. We analyze how the paradigm shift occurred, from a holistic view to a distinction between the physical and metaphysical worlds. By understanding the roots of primitive society's thought, we can appreciate the diversity of perspectives and enrich our understanding of human intellectual evolution.
