I am a molecular biologist and tend to see genetic at places, where others do not. However, in this case, i find it more simple to explain observed things by memes, not genes. The same way the comparatively unrelated languages tend to borrow words from each other, if there is geographical proximity, the changeling stories and general attitude to killing babies can be borrowed and propagated.
