True (although it wasn't -much after- in the overall timeframe of the culture- everything we get is circa 13, they'd been thoroughly christianized by 10...and had been existent since the upper paleolithic as a cultural bloc, thats a long time to build habits and narratives for, say, 400 years to mangle), but in the case of the two emerging from a tree it essentially sets up a cyclical narrative for that pantheon - which is pretty common. Ask and Embla, anglicized, btw. I think that it's a satisfying thought, that this sort of cap be put on the narrative - but that may be due to our exposure with other such narratives rather than anything actually intended by the authors. Compilation, rather than composition, maybe.
