How do the stories we believe about our origins, whether scientific or mythical, shape our understanding of ourselves and others?

Every culture and individual has stories that explain 'where we come from' – whether it's family history, religious texts, or scientific theories. These stories aren't just facts; they're frameworks that give meaning to our lives, influence our values, and determine how we see other groups of people. Reflecting on your own foundational stories can reveal biases or strengths you didn't realize you had.
