The Myth of Adam & Eve and the endurance of Christianity in the West - A matter of interpretationThis book suggests that: 1)            in the Hebrew myth, Adam and Eve were a couple of hominins, pretty much like any of the human ancestors we have discovered lately; 2)            the Hebrews had a much more sophisticated, realistic and intuitive idea of evolution than what is believed nowadays, and that explains many points in the Bible that had no explanation until now; in fact, what is stated here is that they were proto-Darwinian; the innovation of the Greek concept of spirit (psyche) introduced by St Paul when he interpreted the Book of Genesis resulted in a new self-perception of the individual (esse est percipi) that changed forever the course of history, because when he misinterpreted or misrepresented the Tanach, he spiritualised and separated humanity from the rest of the animal kingdom. Western cosmovision and advancement grew from that new vision.
