Atran and Henrich join the New Atheists in claiming that our minds were not shaped, tuned, or adapted for religion. But now that we know how quickly genetic evolution can occur, I find it hard to imagine that the genes stood still for more than 50,000 years.35 How could the genetic partner in the “swirling waltz”36 of gene-culture coevolution not take a single step as the cultural partner began dancing to religious music? Fifty thousand years may not be enough
Wonder what other behavious of humans would evolve with time
