What is Big Gods Hypothesis: A Historical Review about?

This article reviews and corrects previous analyses of the Big Gods hypothesis, which posits that beliefs in moralizing deities contributed to the evolution of sociopolitical complexity. The authors reanalyze global historical data, confirming that increases in social complexity preceded the emergence of Big Gods, contrary to the hypothesis. The findings suggest that Big Gods did not play a significant role in the development of complex societies as previously claimed.
