A Cosmic Hunt in the Berber sky: : a phylogenetic reconstruction of a Palaeolithic mythology.

As species, myths are evolving entities. Here, we built phylogenetics trees of a mythological family. The results clearly support low horizontal transmissions (borrowings), Palaeolithic diffusions and punctuated evolution. Additionaly, a probable Palaeolithic version of the story has been reconstructed.
