The Creative Spark: How Imagination Made Humans Exceptional by Agustín Fuentes
3.0
"Creativity is built on interconnections of ideas, experiences, and imagination. Whether in the physics lab, artist's studio, the mechanic's garage, or even figuring out how to make a small paycheck last until the end of the month, creativity is everywhere in the human experience. We are creative every day."
The present book is a work of non-fiction focusing on how primates evolve into creativeness. The book does not focus on known creative geniuses but, in fact, ordinary pre-homo sapiens hominids take center stage for most of the book.
The theories and information shared on this book are, without a doubt, fascinating; and yet, they were not what I was expecting when I started reading it. It takes too long for it to reach more interesting aspects such as religion and art. I actually skimmed through a couple of sections because I felt cheated in a way whenever I read more about how humans developed tools and how they raised their offspring.
It is an interesting read but be sure to know what you're getting yourself into when you pick this one up.
