Publisher's Synopsis
Many words are written about the mystery of imagery fabrication. Art is too difficult a term to parse because language has always under-served this concept. But we can begin to explain the neurological functions that have egged us on to undertake this activity. This happened eons ago and in the minds of our hominid precursors. So that we were not the first to experience the urge. And whatever peculiar impulse drove our Sapiens ancestors to venture deep into frightening caves to make images is likely the same we feel today. This book asks whether that impulse is the same and explains why.
