Quoted text:

These origin-myths “are not speculations as to how Homo sapiens came into existence, for they all assume that men already existed. It has, for example, always puzzled critical readers of the Bible that Cain had a wife not descended from Adam. The reason is that what they are reading is not a theory of the origin of men but the record of a man-making ritual, a ritual promoting a person to the rank of Man.”
