... Belief Without Borders. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
Can't say I'm impressed.
First this: 'Mr. Wright is prone to supposing that strong conclusions regarding precivilization can be drawn from the writings of anthropologists. Maybe anthropology is correct at times, but the field is chronically speculative and inferential -- building theories of history on it may be building on sand.'
Then this: 'But taken together, "The Moral Animal," "Nonzero" and "The Evolution of God" represent a powerful addition to modern thought.'
Hard to see how.
