Abstract

İlkel insan tarafından efsanelerin yaratılması ve doğal olayların doğaüstü yorumlan zamanın derinliklerinde kaybolmuş gerçek bir gizdir. İnsanoğlu tarafından yapılan tanımlamalar, bu tür olayların nedenlerine ulaşmada gösterdiği çabalardır. Paleontolojik verilerce belirlenen organizma fosilleri halkbilimi gelenekleri içinde devlere, doğaüstü varlıklara ve azizlere atfedilmişlerdir ve iyileştirici özelliklere sahip oldukları varsayılmaktadır. Bu makalede bu tür örneklere değinilmektedir. Konunun tamamlandığını öne süremeyiz, bununla beraber gerek kişisel araştırmalarla gerekse literatür verileriyle olduğunca çok olayı ele almaya çalıştık.
