Garden of Thought E.361 Siberia, Beringia and Beyond

We are graced once more by Prof. Jon F. White of Crecganford to discuss the mythological stories of Siberia, that made their way into America. We started with some Indo European basics and I got us off track almost immediately. However, we ventured back into the oldest stories including the Cosmic Hunt (not The Wild Hunt) and the Earth Diver. Somewhere along the line I scratched an itch about Cain and Abel being the Indo European twins of husnabdry v pastoralist; or founder and sacrificer. I didn't ask - yet - about Jacob wrestling with El and Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Maybe next time.Constellations came up. But which constellations. They're not the same now as they were then. But some are.Linguistics and story tracing has beaten genetics, but genetics and other science testing has supported what the Humanities already discovered. Now you can discover it too.
