Kemper now:
To kind of answer few of your questions...
I've recently been thinking about Human Magical Origin as well...
Growing up in a Judeo/Christian household: God created Man
with
flaws and faults (in His own image?). Man had some kids through
Eve. After a while, there were some `birth defects' or `mutations':
children who were `different'. I imagine parents in the early days
of human history (and most likely throughout history) would attempt
to beat the `different' out their kids `for their own good'. MANY
cultures fear the different; it seems reasonable that the Magic
Minority that survived their childhood would move away and hide from
their abusive families, intolerant communities, ignorant churches,
and hurtful et al. End result
or beginning
is that Purebloods came
from Muggles.
But
Growing up in a secular school system: Man evolved from Ape...
survival of the fittest (but who or what created the fittist?
primordial ooze, who created that?
from the Big Bang, who created
the thing that was before the that
?) Since there are magical owls,
rats, cats, toads, snakes, why can't there be magical apes? So,
Magical Man evolved from Magical Ape. End result
or beginning
is
that Purebloods evolved from Metamorphosis (but not like man to
roach).
Which is it? I don't know, but since many Purebloods seem to have an
aversion to Muggles, I would suspect that the first one MAY be true.
