A weird modernist-atheist version of original sin doctrine is to think of your supposed-paleo-adapted brain/body not as something to fetishize a return to, but as something to reshape and update for modernity. Until then, your paleo original sin makes you somewhat subhuman.

allegorically perhaps... though christian theology seems to take a more moral tack to interpreting the allegory, in terms of knowledge of good/evil, capacity for sin/forgiveness/punishment etc. Basically moral childhood --> adulthood

Same thing, evolutionarily speaking, from egocentric lizard brainstem to clubthumping forebear to prosocial sapiens. It's all analogical but fundamentalists contrive a regime of moronic control by forcing literalist readings.
