From Homo Deus, an excellent book:
"Was this, then the knowledge of the gods- how to make things, crops, and domesticated animals grow? And, was the Bible the story, and/or history, of the transition, perhaps difficult transition, from bands of hunter-gatherers to settled agriculturalists, creating newly needed social, and cultural norms and mores in order to live in one place, in some form of harmony?"
