The Dance of Evolution, or How Art Got Its Start
by possibly noteworthy at 8:58 pm EST, Nov 28, 2007

Perhaps the most radical element of Ellen Dissanayake’s evolutionary framework is her idea about how art got its start. She suggests that many of the basic phonemes of art, the stylistic conventions and tonal patterns, the mental clay, staples and pauses with which even the loftiest creative works are constructed, can be traced back to the most primal of collusions — the intimate interplay between mother and child.

The book is Art and Intimacy.
