Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the fine arts of people from around the world, comparing and contrasting their styles to explore possible linkages between artistic expression and ancestral origins. The author believed that art could be a valuable tool for anthropologists and began his investigations with Japanese and Eskimo art, before including collections from across the planet. He describes how some cave art from the Pleistocine Era suggests intellectual pursuits among our early ancestors, despite their reliance on stone tools and nomadic lifestyle. The author argues that there is a direct link between art and evolution and that examining different styles will help us better understand where we came from. This is an intriguing look at the often-overlooked artistic talents of non-European cultures and an important tool for anthropologists seeking new methods of examining the common threads that bind humanity.
