When They Severed Earth from Sky

When They Severed Earth from Sky: How the Human Mind Shapes Myth is a 2004 work by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Paul T. Barber that examines how preliterate societies encoded information about natural events and observations into mythological narratives. Published by Princeton University Press, the book presents a theoretical framework of cognitive principles governing how myths develop, transmit, and degrade over time.
