I ran across a round-table discussion by some anthropologists who stated that besides the types of decoration (tattoos, other forms of artwork) and languages, stone-age primitive cultures are pretty much the same, worldwide. All the legends are similar, with different animals "creating the earth" as a function of the species local to an area.
Farming and learning the use of metals started the differentiations at different times here and there around the world.
IOW, you can find the same "words of wisdom" from any continent, from any ethnic group of a common degree of primitivism.
