Anthropologist here, and I agree with Reza. Nothing new in this book. He's one of those guys that knows a *little bit* about a range of things, but tries to tie it all together into this giant story of everything. Academic work isn't this sexy, but it's more accurate.
I just don’t see it as mind blowing. Nothing really new or revolutionary. And way way off on issues of religion and ritual.https://twitter.com/brunoroedel84/status/1086020559912222721 …

But to all of us it’s a bridge...maybe not to you guys who are educated in it.

True. It can be. In all honesty, we're a little jealous at how much attention they get. lol.

Books like that just make all the jobs you guys do look even more interesting.

I don't remember much about religion in it. That it's all a shared delusion, yes. But it seems like a social good, to me. And I think that's why Evans shared it.

Also the tone of the book is incredibly populist. To the point it made me cringe sometimes.

As an avid reader of both you guys, I'm more of the same opinion about his third book: "21 lessons". As if successful authors feel the pressure to produce and along the way loose their creativity. All due respect, I loved "Zealot" but I think"God" suffers from the same problem.
