In the beginning...

The Dark Powers have been known to pluck individuals from out of nowhere to then place them within a domain often with new or at least altered memories.
Now, different groups of individuals have differing views on how the world came to be and within the average high fantasy yet still Earth-like D&D settings one can easily transpose existing creation myths from various material such as those devoted to certain faiths or races.
Demihumans tend to share certain common ideas in terms of their respective creation myths but with (sometimes very) different interpretations of common events.
Ravenloft being a patchwork monster of sorts with parts taken wholly from existing worlds and others created from whole cloth for a given individual means people may have different views on creation. How do these people deal with opposing or differing views?
Moreover, is there such a thing as demiplane prehistory? Sure, eldritch abominations may lurk in the darkest corners of the demiplane, but what (if anything) came before what could be called the first civilization?
Also, does evolution exist within the demiplane or is everything tightly controlled by the DPs? Could one accidentally come across the remains of extinct beasts?
