    Very interesting episode – I wonder why these anthropological books seem to be so profoundly impactful. Ishmael by Daniel Quinn was my introduction – the “zoom out” perspective when looking at our myths hits home harder because of our uneasiness with the myths we currently live in perhaps. It’s amazing how little is taught or known about out timeline. Great episode, look forward to hearing how your opinions change/build a few weeks after completing the book. Take care
