sooo it all evolved from surestiition and fear of the natural ?  sounds about right in context...but because of the way that evolved then the early stories are now almost akin to prophecies and oddly enough prophets were big in the time of religion creating too..

Its an odd path that seems predestined to escape the planet of the apes and I firmly believe that will happen before the earth dies ,therefore the religious thinkers were actually onto something as they changed the direction (maybe ) of the species.

Harrys link is an interesting theory whether its flawed or not..as we did appear to all grasp the idea easily..albiet then get into a huge argument about it 🙂
