No. I'm suggesting that the constellation being seen as and named for a bear likely was because of already-existing bear populations in the north. It was more playful at first but if you're going to be totally :reddit-logo: about it, I'm not interested in going further.
The bear is an ancient symbol of the power and mystery of nature and of the interplay of life and death.
"Arctic Circle" was named simply for "bears here, and they'll fuck you up."
it was named for ursa major
And why was a big bear constellation associated with regions known for bear presence? :thinking-about-it:
it's in the north part of the sky
Yes, that's also where the bears are generally in greater concentration.
The Antarctic, by contrast, has no bears.
are you suggesting that the bears saw the constellation and headed north
