Fine, but even on the scale of "Since the Neolithic Revolution and the formation of continuous human cultures", it's still kinda recent. China, India, and Sumeria all predate the Jews, especially when you take into account that most of the actual text was written in something more like the Kings period.
Sort of. On the other hand we have nothing from China except a some oracle bones from that period, and we haven't yet deciphered the Indus Valley script (assuming it is a script). In fact the earliest Chinese and Indian texts we have are roughly contemporary with the Kings period.
Not sure what you are trying to say. Are you trying to say that the OP's point is:
"Deontology might be not even wrong, why it's as recent as Jewish monotheism!"
I don't think that's what he's saying. That would be a weird thing to say. He clarified what he meant anyways, below.
