La muerte del Homo sapiens : Un viaje al más allá a través de los ritos funerarios de la humanidad

From the earliest prehistoric burials to the contemporary denial of death in a society obsessed with youth, productivity, and progress, Ernesto Montoya rigorously and sensitively explores the rituals, beliefs, and symbols that have shaped our relationship with the afterlife. Through civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the classical world, the author shows how each culture has constructed its own responses to confront loss, fear, and the need for permanence. The Death of Homo sapiens combines archaeological data, funerary practices, religious myths, and personal reflection to reveal that death is not merely a biological event, but a cultural force that has transformed how we love, organize society, create gods, and give meaning to existence.
