What reading level is The Evolution of the Dragon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor had he begun to take anything more than the most casual interest inthe sun, the moon, and the stars. He had not yet devised a sky-world norcreated a heaven. When, for reasons that I have already discussed, [261]the theory of the fertilizing and the animating power of water wasformulated, the beliefs concerning this element were assimilated withthose which many ages previously had grown up in explanation of thepotency of blood and shells. In addition to fertilizing the earth, watercould also... animate the dead. The rivers and the seas were in fact a vastreservoir of this animating substance. The powers of the cowry, as aproduct of the sea, were rationalized into an expression of the greatcreative force of the water.
A bowl of water became the symbol of the fruitfulness of woman. Suchsymbolism implied that woman, or her uterus, was a receptacle into whichthe seminal fluid was poured and from which a new being emerged in aflood of amniotic fluid.
The burial of shells with the dead is an extremely ancient practice, forcowries have been found upon human skeletons of the so-called "UpperPalæolithic Age" of Southern Europe.
