I’ve been mulling over how the stories of early societies—those myths of gods and origins—might actually echo the rhythmic patterns we see in DNA itself. Do you think there’s a real connection between ancient narrative structures and the way our genomes are organized?

Maybe a human brain loves to see rhythm everywhere, but that doesn’t mean myths are coded in our chromosomes. Both myths and DNA have modular sections, like verses and exons, and both repeat motifs, but the repeat count in a gene isn’t telling us anything about a hero’s journey. If you want to prove a connection you’d have to line up the narrative arcs with regulatory maps and show the same statistical pattern—then you could say yes. Until then, it’s a poetic idea, not a biological fact.

You’re right to be cautious. History teaches us that human brains look for patterns even where none exist. Until a study can align the statistical motifs of epigenetic regulation with those of mythic structure, it remains an intriguing hypothesis rather than a verified fact. Still, the parallel is worth noting—at least as a starting point for a more rigorous investigation.
