How stories and created and shared and transmitted is a vast and complex field, something well worth diving into and addressing properly. Reducing that to a single output made without care presents beautiful richness as a solved and simple detail.

It’s unfortunate, but we have permanently lost way more stories and are losing them at catastrophic rates today as technology and globalism eradicate local and indigenous cultures and languages/dialects.

Thanks to science we know it's more or less what happened (plus evolution) but it's nice to see how pre-scientific intuition somewhat worked it out.
