"Just when the evolution of the intellectual level from the social level took place in history can only be speculated on" (RMP)
"Cavemen are usually depicted as hairy, stupid crea­tures who don’t do much, but anthropological studies of contemporary primitive tribes suggest that stone age peo­ple were probably bound by ritual all day long. There’s a ritual for washing, for putting up a house, for hunting, for eating and so on—so much so that the division between “ritual” and “knowledge” becomes indistinct. In cultures without books ritual seems to be a public library for teaching the young and preserving common values and information.
These rituals may be the connecting link between the social and intellectual levels of evolution." (RMP, Lila, Cap. 30)
