Evolution & Speciation i "Folktales are like biological species: They literally evolve by descent with modification. They get told and retold with slight alterations, and then that gets passed on to the next generation and gets altered again. "In many ways the problem of reconstructing folklore tradition is very similar to the problem of reconstructing the evolutionary relationship of species. We have little evidence about the evolution of species because the fossil record is so patchy. Similarly, folktales are only very occasionally written down" - Anthropologist Jamie Tehrani Shea, R. H. (2013). What wide origins you have, Little Red Riding Hood! National Geographic.
