Jim, a couple of things:


 1.  'It does look as though...' is not really an argument of substance.
 2.  Even if Gen 36 is an insertion, it means the form of the book that we 
have is from the monarchic era at the earliest. Regardless of the origin of 
the other traditions, our edition of Genesis is no older than the monarchic 
era. (I would argue it's probably later still.)
