I'm not Chitren, but I have to respond with a resounding "Wrong" to this
one. Humans and their memes did not spring full-formed from some Zeus's
forehead. For some really fantastic explorations of this subject, read
Dennett's _Consciousness Explained_. It should go quite a bit higher on
the reading list than Jan Harald Brunvand's urban legend books,
interesting tho they are.
