What is this european-american worldview the article mentions? In most ancient mythologies of Europe from Greece to Scandinavia, humans are but a sidenote in the vast complex menagerie of weird creatures inhabiting the universe. Show up late, too. Christianity, yes, is very human-centric but it is weird for an anthropologist to ignore this complexity

An example: In a 2008 statement, José Gabriel Funes, head of the Vatican Observatory, said "Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on earth, there can be other beings, even intelligent, created by God. This is not in contrast with our faith because we can't put limits on God's creative freedom".
