I absolutely agree with you. The surprising point to me is that groups with no contact, appear to have the same myths and stories. > > The works of Joseph Campbell go a long way to explaining this. I have not read it (it's heavy going), but A Hero with a Thousand Faces might be worth a read. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Faces-Based on the reference in Wikipedia above I don't see a real explanation except the similarities seem to indicate that everyone tends to make up the same stories. Are we coded for that? For a purpose? I don't have an answer, but I appreciate the reference you offered.
