According to Scientific American as the species amalgamated say from 80,000 years ago until today the new genes and living habits caused rapid evolution e.g. they think a tolerance for milk and grains I think is only about 10,000 years. Since we settled down. It takes 20,000 years for people to evolve from having dark skin to light skin to let vitamin D in. And blue eyes are new. In the cave days it was mostly spirits I think. I just read Infidel about life in Somalia. The grandmother was illiterate and her entire reality was manufactured myth. That is how we lived until just recently, IMO. I am familiar with some of the isolated tribes belief systems in New guinea and they are pretty wild. Lots of people on earth still cannot even count and are illiterate. Hard to form a reality without those skills. Even today half the country believes in things like ghosts. Even with science staring people right in the face people have no difficulty suspending belief; and once contaminated with myth, especially at a young age, myth is like a virus and hard to eradicate, IMO.
