    Wotanics believed we were carved from wood (Elm and Ash, I think). But I like the story of Promethus making us, since it implies we already had the brilliance and all we needed was a sample of fire to develop robots, engineering, space travel and genetically enhanced life forms (e.g. become gods ourselves.)

      I love (/s) those old stories people came up with. They probably saw a tree in the woods and experienced a moment of pareidolia then decided that humans were descended from trees.
