Yes but an evolved/mythical identity has roots in myth and mystery. Therefore, its development cannot be chronologically reconstructed and traced to its beginning. As such it has no beginning and has sort of an immortal or eternal existence in the minds of its upholders.

A created/historical identity on the other hand has a traceable beginning in time. Its development can be chronologicaly re-constructed and various stages of its formation can be identified and described. Therefore, historical identity only exists at conscious level. Example is Pakistani identity. Every body, even a child, knows that on August 13, 1947 all people were Hindustanis. The next morning when they woke up, they had suddenly become Pakistanis.

Who gives a rats behind in everyday life about their “roots” that deep? Only Historians, now they can go and eat $hit for all I care. When I travel around and I find Muslim(s) I feel connected already, I don’t need to ask them if they were Aryans, Caucasian or any other “ans”, the need to find “roots” is for those who are unable to connect somehow.
