Robin Dunbar - How Religion Evolved: Empires, Power & the Future of Belief (Part 3)
How has religion shaped civilizations — and where is belief heading next?
In the final episode, Professor Robin Dunbar examines how religion helped build societies, fueled conflict, responded to crisis, and continues to influence the modern world.

A thought-provoking conclusion to the mini-series.
