I believe radiation in context means when humans radiated out of Africa across the world.
Meaning the dragon myth formed in Africa BEFORE people left Africa. The meaning here being that independent peoples didn’t witness something that made them all say dragon but rather they all carried the myth where they went.
Well, yes. You find a sharp tooth that’s as long as someone’s finger you’re going to make up some kind of creature for it to have come from.
Okay, yes. But also: dragons originated from pre-radiation Africa. Every culture has it because they all had distant contact with that one.
Iirc, it’s thought that the original dragon was a flying feathered serpent and also a storm god.
Can you share some source about that? Would like to read more about it
Unfortunately, I’m not a mythillogical scholar, so I’ll just link the nerd I listen to sometimes https://youtu.be/cwDPt1E4_Cg?si=XdUKzbLxJnAKvKpO
I think this is the right one, but I need to get back to sleep.
Pre-radiation?

Just my understanding of their statement.
Although I wouldn’t say that the concept of a giant flying lizard is especially hard to come up with independently.
Ah never heard that term regarding migration.
no-one has.
