Jungian Pseudo-History Man Into Wolf by Robert Eisler Connecting Human Violence To Ancient Wolf Cult
Eisler, Robert. Man Into Wolf: An Anthropological Interpretation of Sadism, Masochism and Lycanthropy. Spring Books. London. [1949].
First edition Jungian pseudo-history Man Into Wolf by Robert Eisler suggesting the parallel evolution of two types of humans—violent and peaceful—following periods of Ice Age scarcity. The wolf-skin wearing, violent humans — inspired by the natural hierarchy witnessed among wolves– had a tendency to eat, enslave, and otherwise victimize their more egalitarian, non-violent brethren, giving rise to myths of werewolves and other monsters. According to the author, these tendencies live on among modern humans in the forms of sadism and psychopathy, as well as the cultural memory of the werewolf.
