We suggest an alternative explanation for the emergence of Big Gods that places less emphasis on the role of cognitive tendencies and selection of prosocial cultural variants. Instead, we argue that the fundamental motivation to reduce uncertainty and increase long-term predictability provides a better account for the rise of Big moralizing Gods in a complex and heavily regulated social environment.
我们提出了一个替代解释，认为大天神的出现并不太强调认知倾向的作用和选择亲社会的文化变体。相反，我们认为，减少不确定性和提高长期可预测性的基本动机为复杂和高度监管的社会环境中大型道德化天神的兴起提供了更好的解释。
