Grizzly Man's religion

That's "Big Bear, Little Bear" by Hibbary, on gallery site DeviantArt.

I thought I could stretch far enough so it was related.

In class we talked about the similarities and differences between Grizzly Man's way of life and the hypothetical religion and way of life of Paleolithic people. Obviously we found significant differences.

I think it's interesting to note that the sort of Grizzly-Man style reverence/love for the natural world seems like it only could come out of a modern technology-heavy urban way of life -- when you're disillusioned with the apparent spiritual poverty of human life, it's easy to fall for the "simple life" in a tent in Bear Sanctuary, living "like your fellow animals". On the other hand, when you're hunting bison with stone axes so not to starve in a cave in the winter (no matter how beautifully painted a cave), it would be much more difficult to find the lifestyle "simple" and a thing to enjoy.

I'm not sure we know enough about the specifics of Paleolithic religion to point to the similarities, in terms of "big picture" religion; I think Paleolithic people and Grizzly Man would be related by only the broadest possible definition.
