Humans originated in Africa. So, it's reasonable to assume our storytelling journey began there, too.
Wisdom was passed down the long ages by tales told in song and dance around the flickering flames of tribal fires. Fast forward to the age of the soundbite, where our shrinking attention span is starting to make goldfish look conscientious and scholarly. Regardless of how they are shared, stories with messages and morals are still our most powerful teaching tools. We should stick with our long and proud tradition of storytelling. Much like the baboon sticks to his dream of making it to the moon.
