I don't know where it really comes from and how it started so I cannot honestly answer where the first myth came from. Maybe it was always there...

The entire human knowledge (mythos) is there to help you live. It is what makes us the leading species on this planet, it is our intelligence. If we have a concept of a Zombie, that means somebody thought about such thing because it helped him in some way. Even for amusement. But it doesn't mean it exists in an absolute reality.
Could a person with no senses think of a zombie? I thought you already said they could not...

Your logic says this:

1) A person born with no sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste has no Zombie thoughts.
2) Therefore, Zombies are derived from experience.

I guess I just don't really see the use of your theory and it seems inaccurate anyway. Maybe I'm not getting it.
