For example, I am currently researching a tale about a , and I just learned that in its there were discoveries of human remains that date back several tens of thousands of years, as well as the remains of more than 30,000 cave bears.

Example: All of these narratives about "Things That Cause " are basically recycled folk tales about .

Right now, we are at the: "The child is WRONG somehow - the mother must have been careless!" stage.

And it's only a very small step to: "My child is WRONG somehow! Thus, I must abuse it until I get my REAL child back - the one I always wanted!"

Pop off, queen.
