As far as I can tell, they do not acknowledge the enforcement of these rules would not have really been possible, at a late or early stage, and would have been targeted towards elites (who received dispensation often or flouted the rules).

However the more I read this, the more I am unsettled by the premise that exposure to the Church results in "individualism, creativity, embeddedness, and analytical thinking."

I see Mitterauer cited here, a few other historians like De Jong, but a lot of articles on consanguinity from other scientists.

And perhaps I am reading this wrong. But it seems to me that this is comparing "The West" as it were with non-Christian, non-Western societies, that from their map seem to be African/Asian nations, with these outcomes. That is...idk. But it unsettles me, guys.

Eurocentric at best. But that's not a good thing.

Dr C. M. Bromstick 🧹, Dublin Retweeted Erik "Mr. Bloodaxe" Wade
@erik_kaars did a great breakdown of why this study had so many problems, and why it is nonsensical.https://twitter.com/erik_kaars/status/1198192838195986434 …Dr C. M. Bromstick 🧹, Dublin added,
Erik "Mr. Bloodaxe" Wade @erik_kaarsI *beg* your pardon? The Catholic Church reduced incest and cousin marriage, therefore "the West" became individualistic and promoted democracy?? I can't even explain how much this doesn't make sense. Oh wait, I *can* explain. I study medieval sex. 1/13 https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/11/how-early-christian-church-gave-birth-today-s-weird-europeans …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -

Jacob Ari Labendz (Dr. J. 🦁 🦢) @Jacob_LabendzThis thread explains why this journalistic take on a ev-psych study (and, it seems the study too) gets much wrong. It’s also far too kind. Dressed up in science, this is simply a circular case for white supremacy almost indistinguishable from Kevin McDonald’s drivel. 1/4 https://twitter.com/mccormick_ted/status/1193028975951519745 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @AdmiralHip
To be fair, I was commenting on the coverage of the study. I read the study later but did not have time to respond.

Ah fair. I think that your comments are applicable to the study itself, esp after I learned that it is saying the same thing as some far right guy wrote a few years back, and a far right woman was praising it and saying she has talked with one of the authors often.
