But seriously...

It is interesting to note that most cultures have stories of dragons or are familiar with the concept of such creatures.

Probably a result of finding dinosaur bones. They are quite close to the surface in many parts of the world.

It's probably not much of a leap from "Boy these reptiles sure are creepy" to "Maybe there's really big ones that are even creepier." Any small child will at some point make a game out imagining how some frightful thing could be more frightful. It's part of human nature.
