All of this has been interesting, but there are valid reasons for wanting to study it.
For example, I believe (I am not the first person to suggest this idea, but possibly to use this idea in this context) that the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis is a religious re-telling of a story about a power struggle that occurred when Man transitioned from hunting and gathering into agriculture.
There was a recent news blurb-about a story that was run in a peer-reviewed journal-discussing a myth that predates the Behring Land Bridge (“Behringea”) that started in Northern Asia, made it across the land bridge during the last Ice Age, and went in the other direction and survived with certain stories told by the Hellenic Greeks.
Which is why a similar story told by the Iriqouis and Creek Native Americans matches certain Greek myths
They’ve even gone so far as to tie in some ancient Ice Age cave drawings in France to the myth, which involves either 1 or 3 hunters chasing a large mammal on a hunt, and the event is marked forever in the sky by the Big Dipper.
So, I do find the Bible interesting. I remember when Carl Sagan discussed the !Kung-San people of Botswana and South Africa, and how hunter-gatherers have much more leisure time than agricultural societies, and how they are matriarchal.
I see elements of all this in Adam and Eve. Women are bad, and need to be controlled, so Eve tempts Adam in the story, which is how men snached political power away from women during the transition from hunter-gather to argriculture. They were naked, which means that–as hunter-gathers–they needed to carry nothing because nature always provides.
I also think this story describes slavery, as Adam and Eve were forcibly removed from a plentiful “garden” to till and work the ground.
And so on.
