Abstract
Abstract: Stories in which a hero defeats a semi-human ogre occur much more frequently in unrelated cultures than chance alone can account for. This claim is supported by a discussion of folk-tales from 20 cultures and an examination of the folk-tales from a random sample of 44 cultures. The tendency to tell these stories must, therefore, have its source in the innate human nature discussed by evolutionary psychologists. This essay argues that these stories reinforce innate positive biases in the perception of self and ingroup and negative biases in the perception of outgroups.

This claim is supported by a discussion of folk-tales from 20 cultures and an examination of the folk-tales from a random sample of 44 cultures. The tendency to tell these stories must, therefore, have its source in the innate human nature discussed by evolutionary psychologists. This essay argues that these stories reinforce innate positive biases in the perception of self and ingroup and negative biases in the perception of outgroups.</abstract><subject lang="en"><genre>Key words</genre><topic>Hero</topic><topic>Ogre</topic><topic>Monster</topic><topic>Evolutionary psychology</topic><topic>Human universals</topic><topic>Folklore</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Human Nature</title><subTitle>An Interdisciplinary Biosocial Perspective</subTitle></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>Hum Nat</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal" authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/JMC-0GLKJH51-B">journal</genre><originInfo><publisher>Springer</publisher><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">2001-09-01</dateIssued><copyrightDate encoding="w3cdtf">2001</copyrightDate></originInfo><subject><genre>Journal-Subject-Group</genre><topic authority="SpringerSubjectCodes" authorityURI="X">Social Sciences</topic><topic authority="SpringerSubjectCodes" authorityURI="X12000">Anthropology</topic><topic authority="SpringerSubjectCodes" authorityURI="L13009">Behavioural Sciences</topic><topic authority="SpringerSubjectCodes" authorityURI="Y11009">Biological Psychology</topic></subject><identifier type="ISSN">1045-6767</identifier><identifier type="eISSN">1936-4776</identifier><identifier type="JournalID">12110</identifier><identifier type="IssueArticleCount">5</identifier><identifier type="VolumeIssueCount">4</identifier><part><date>2001</date><detail type="volume"><number>12</number><caption>vol.</caption></detail><detail type="issue"><number>3</number><caption>no.</caption></detail><extent unit="pages"><start>247</start><end>272</end></extent></part><recordInfo><recordOrigin>Springer, 2001</recordOrigin></recordInfo></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">A7ABE1655A7911440BC27E8ABD552EE4CAB29F56</identifier><identifier type="ark">ark:/67375/VQC-8T7CHDN1-B</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1007/s12110-001-1009-7</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">1009</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">s12110-001-1009-7</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">Walter de Gruyter, Inc, 2001</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/XBH-3XSW68JL-F">springer</recordContentSource><recordOrigin>Converted from (version 1.2.14) to MODS version 3.6.</recordOrigin><recordCreationDate encoding="w3cdtf">2020-05-30</recordCreationDate></recordInfo></mods><json:item><extension>json</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>application/json</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/ark:/67375/VQC-8T7CHDN1-B/record.json</uri></json:item></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
