Where Did Dragons Originally Come From?

This episode examines the global origins of dragon mythology, tracing the legend back over 75,000 years to prehistoric Africa. It proposes that the universal existence of these creatures stems from evolutionary psychology, as humans are biologically hardwired to fear and hyper-focus on serpents. Beyond innate instincts, the text highlights how ancient fossils and geological events, such as volcanic activity, provided physical "proof" that reinforced these myths across different cultures. By blending genetic memory with the discovery of prehistoric remains, various civilizations independently developed unique versions of the giant serpent.
