About the Author: Daniel Cl ment is an anthropologist consultant.
Ultimately he demonstrates how science may have developed out of an operational mode that already existed in the mythological mind.
Cl ment\'s analysis uncovers four operational modes in myth construction and clarifies the relationship between mythology and science.
In analyzing the Bungling Host tales, Cl ment considers not only material culture but also social, economic, and cultural life
Native knowledge of the environment; and the world of plants and animals.
In this groundbreaking work Daniel Cl ment has gathered nearly four hundred North American variants of the story to examine how myths acquire meaning for their Indigenous users and explores how seemingly absurd narratives can prove to be a rich source of meaning when understood within the appropriate context.
