The concept of X is found in almost every human race in one form or the other. University of Florida anthropologist David E.Jones says that certain aspects of X is shared in every culture. He says that even the Inuit, people who dwelled in the Arctic with very little chances to see reptiles have an X like creature in their tales.

He further goes on to say, in his book, Instinct for X, that common characteristics and traits of X and X-like creatures present in different cultures are basically inspired from the characters of the predators of ancient hominids, for instance, great cats, serpents and raptors. He goes against the arguments that X were created by the ancient discoveries and misinterpretations of Dinosaur fossils.

He further proposes that X legends came to existence in different cultures, by the inheritance of the fears of animals like great cats, serpents and reptiles and birds of prey from hominids. He suggests sociological reasons as reasons for the different kinds portrayal of X in various cultures. For instance, X are considered to be bad and evil in European folklore while they are kind and good in the Oriental culture.

Identify X.
