The Roots of Visual Depiction in Art : Neuroarchaeology, Neuroscience and Evolution PDF
by Derek Hodgson
Description
Why ancient humans first began to represent animals is a question that has led to a bewildering number of theories since cave art was discovered in the 19th century.
Drawing on insights from visual science, evolution, and art theory, the book takes the reader on a unique and intriguing journey showing how the development of visual imagery in the human brain throughout evolution eventually led to the first figurative depictions of animals 37,000 years ago.
