An evolutionary advantage to storytelling is that it provides humans with information that can be carried down from generation to generation. Storytelling has become a communication method used between people and allows us to gather more information on a topic through research that all started through word of mouth. Myth is a traditional story that may or may not be true. However, myth is still essential to storytelling because people act out based off what they believe. An origin story is a story shared by a community that explains the reality. This type of story explains how a person or group of people ended up where they are now.
