[Taxacom] Re empathy: Taxacom Digest, Vol 164, Issue 18

[Timothy Dickinson]

have a look at the summary of a recent paper in Science: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/medieval-catholic-church-may-have-helped-spark-western-individualism

not just individualism, but also openness and acceptance of outsiders, fowed from putting the kybosh on endogamy. northern europe triumphed over the mediterranean, in this regard. see also germaine tillion' 'my cousin, my husband'.

best wishes for the new year!
