Interesting. I’m not surprised historians are pushing back, because that’ll happen either way (i.e. whether or not there’s good reason). I’m interested is seeing commentary from historians, so I can figure things out for myself. Do you know of any other takes worth reading?
Their premise begins with early Christianity but they ignore on their map early Christian kingdoms i.e. Ethiopia, and seem to not be aware that Christianity started in the ME.

They cite few medieval historians, in particular older works, no primary sources from what I can see, and works that have been refuted. They do not engage with the vast scholarship on this topic. Also, it is Eurocentric, and progressivist.

Thanks! I started writing down a few misc thoughts about how psychology and history would differentially approach the Q of how to do history of a psychology (e.g. WEIRD psychology) – but I think I need to think about it more. Am looking forward to reading the formal critiques.
