Interesting Article about Human Development

I read an interesting article on the development of the brain and the link to creative output. Take a moment to read Lascaux's Picassos as well.

This article was fascinating. It reinforces the idea that our ancestors depicted, oftentimes exaggerates, the key elements of a human or animal. A female's reproductive force was exaggerated as well as the size of an animal to show the meat it provides, a life sustaining force. What was illuminating was the look into the BRAIN. The idea that abstraction is NOT a modern concept, considered so radical by Picasso. Our ancestors were pioneers ... this article helps us understand the human brain's capacity has been immense ... from the outset.
