 I find it so interesting how the geography of a culture's land can affect almost every aspect of that culture's way of life.  The animals and the conditions of the land can lead to so many differences. With all these environmental differences it is easy to see how many culture's stories can be so different.  But, at the same time it makes me feel like we are even more similar.  Because the only reason for our differences IS because of our environment. And as individuals and cultures, our souls are the same.  We all try to make sense of the environments we were placed in, evolve, and develop traditions along the way that work well in our environments.
