Abstract
The article explores the evolution of human mentalities through storytelling, tracing a shift in narrative focus from survival-oriented nomadic societies to settled agricultural communities. The author argues that this shift, around 11,000 BCE, led to a transformation in storytelling values, emphasizing personal desire and the institution of marriage over communal survival. Drawing on examples from various cultures, the paper examines how geographic factors influenced storytelling, culminating in the celebration of heroes and the preservation of domestic spheres in river valley civilizations. The author further explores the reorientation of storytelling in island cultures, emphasizing the purity of place over racial purity. The article concludes with a reflection on modern storytelling, linking it to the persistence of racist mentalities and the shaping of narratives around borders and racial boundaries.
