Abstract
We all know that one of the existential questions humankind has asked since the beginning of civilization is: "Where do we come from?" Our present life; our way of thinking, and our behavior are so deeply affected by the cultural legacy we inherited from the past generations that we cannot evade this question if we wish to understand ourselves and, hopefully, avoid the repetition of past errors.
