Quote: "A man is scrabbling along a ridge at twilight. in this world it's always twilight. the man is short, thin, dark, and naked. He's running in a half crunch, looking for tracks." (pg.219)

Question: Why do people like the narrator believe that their ancestors are ape-like. If man was made this way then that means Adam and Eve were like this since they are the first humans on Earth. Are they not going based on what the Bible says or are they? Is mother culture also get involved with religion? Does everyone have a different version of mother culture? Because religion plays a big role in culture.

Comment: In this quote it's referring to how Ishmael wants the narrator to dig deep into the roots of human kind and mother culture because takers like on the terror of what mother culture tells them and so they don't want to go back to being leavers. The narrator thinks it's impossible to do so but when he keeps thinking on he comes to the conclusion that his ancestors looks disgusting and wild and so people fear of being like them and live by that terror. It's funny however that everyone is told the same story but like me, I don't believe our ancestors came from the wild and were vicious hunters with no control over themselves and so I don't feel like I live by that terror. That led me to think that maybe Mother Culture is different for every individual. That's possible right?
