Yes, of course

So then the story penned by Moses, whether the elements were inspired by existing tales or not, is about the contemporary concerns of Hebrew people recently freed from Egyptian slavery.

Long after many civilizations had already come and gone over thousands of years....

In other words the story has nothing whatever to do with any transition from hunter gatherers.

Mormons also used to think they could have more than one wife like Muslims.
They also believe that Joseph Smith dug up a golden tablet but it was taken from him before anyone could see it.
Anyone who's read the book of Mormon can tell it's not the word of God.

Mormons believe two fictitious Jewish tribes settled in the New World .... Called Nephites and Lamanites, circa 600 BC. Then Jesus came to America after the resurrection.

Warren Jeffs doesn't represent the LDS church's doctrine.

When polygamy was outlawed by the Mormon Church in 1890, splinter groups formed, including the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS, in which members could practice polygamy – or "plural marriage" – discreetly, without persecution.

Apparently they were never slaves in Egypt. They were Canaanites and Egypt ruled Canaan for four hundred years. The creation story is for Bronze Age people. People have tried to give it meaning like explaining the transition from depending on God's providence to agriculture.
