The Myth of Sacrifice

Are primordial detheorists describing a myth? Have they discovered a profound truth of the human condition that has always existed in all societies? And is it simply spelled out, particularly clearly in certain ancient texts from india? Or are they inventing a myth of their own? Clearly it must be the latter. The choice of the vedic material is significant. We know almost nothing about the people who composed these texts and little about the society that created them. If we look at other ancient civilizations no such notion of sacrifice as payment is in evidence.
