The origin of the creation myth is explained here as being due to the memories of the infant's gradual recognition of his own identity. The transition from the awareness of the breast to the recognition of the person apart from himself is the infant's creation. The author draws analogies between different creation myths and the probable sequence of infantile perceptual experiences as hypothesized by Isakower and Lewin.
