Thanks for pointing out the book, I haven’t read it but recently came to the evidence of this as a fact, no doubt a derivative of his book. While previous to that I just knew from of philosophical sense that the feeling you owe someone for a gift, being ingrained to the human condition, must have occurred before anything else. The concept that formal debt systems appear to have predated formal money systems is icing on the cake.
