Gender and creation myth

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I'm just curious. Has anyone noticed that

(1) The Long Sun Whorl bears a number of systemic resemblances to Eden, 
including gender-based naming systems

(2) The Neighbors presumably introduced the inhumi to the Whorl as a 
sort of test, much like another well-known reptilian character

(3) The Neighbors withdrew from both Green and Blue, essentially giving 
them to humanity to make their own (and in Marc's word, "make better"?)
