But some of the claims he makes are false. And for an anthropologist to make such claims is equivalent to professional cheating.
I know for a fact that ‘debt’, ‘guilt’ and ‘sin’ are not the same word. Wonder where this anthropologist gets his information from. Now that I know this is wrong, I question everything else he passes off as facts, especially relating to Mesopotamia and Medieval Ireland and the slave girls.
Sad thing is that the did not have to go this far to make his point. The first recorded written information has to do with some merchant making accounts of who owes him what (or so). It is enough to claim writing was invented essentially to keep track of who owes whom and how much.
