Crecganford: Flood Mythology Completely Rewritten by New Evidence, The Mythwisdom Review & Reaction!
The premise of the Cregganford analysis rests upon the “phylogenetic method,” a biological model that treats mythology as a series of “footprints in the snow” or chunk-sized “myth-themes” that drift and evolve through oral tradition .
