Every. Single. One.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to topics I love I dive into them with vigor and I notice with discerning and nerdy tastes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>An <em>Instinct for Dragons<\/em> by David Jones helped me understand the phenomenon of dragons, and why we are all so fascinated by them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Many societies have a concept of and a word for the dragon, even though  the creature never existed. Why? Jones, professor of anthropology at the  University of Central Florida, thinks the concept derives from the  experience of ancestral humans and prehumans with three kinds of  predator: &#8220;Over millennia,&#8221; he writes, &#8220;the raptor, big cat, and serpent  began to form as a single construct-the dragon&#8211;in the brain\/mind of  our ancient primate ancestors.&#8221; Jones got his idea from the behavior of vervet monkeys in Africa. They have three different alarm calls that  provoke three different defensive responses: one for the leopard, one  for the martial eagle and one for the python. Most of the 40  illustrations in the book portray dragons as different societies  envisioned them. The common theme is that they look scary.<br \/>\n&#8212; <em>EDITORS OF SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if David Jones is right; of course, we&#8217;ll never know.<\/p>\n<p>I only know that dragons grab me, and are a powerful metaphor for change, for facing our fears, addressing the elemental forces of the world.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Why do you like dragons?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Wednesday series on Fans of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
