Tells the story of an idea that humanity's expression of art, religion and creativity found form in the figure of a proto-priest known as a shaman. Tracing this classic category of the history of anthropology back to the emergence of the term in Siberia, this title follows the trajectory of European knowledge about continent's eastern frontier.
