Oral History

There is a running chronicle of street talk that goes on, call it the he did, she did tales of sex and conquest; strings of oral histories of sexual bravado that men share among themselves. I imagine this sort of manly discussion to be the first of the world’s oral history projects from back in the day when the Neanderthals where gathering on the corner in the forest. I suspect that this is the first of the great oral traditions of human history, in fact.

Just a thought.
