CoEvolution Quarterly, Spring 1978

“The evolution of language as an instrument of play and amusement probably occurred parallel to (or even preceded) its evolution as a practical tool. There is no question, at any rate, that story-telling is an ancient art, and that like most play it serves a vital — if often unrecognized — function, for the values and underlying principles of any culture have always been most effectively carried from one generation to the next via the medium of its stories, myths and legends.”
