A review by psyckers
The Origins of Creativity by Edward O. Wilson
4.0
An interesting book that weaves the aspects of Humanities with the Sciences to work out how a persons thoughts, dreams, creativity, history etc is what it is today.
Journeying from Paleolithic holmiids in the African savanna through to Astronauts in Space; connections between how we perceive the world can be found between us and even other animals from the small ant through to the Great Blue Whale.
This book proves that Sciences alone cannot fully understand how creativity works and why people believe the things they do, but with a grasp of humanities, how stories have formed over thousands of years.
True to his profession, the author entomologist knowledge is worked through this book. Yet instead of being used as knowledge factual, its used to tell the story how animal societies can be just as rich with creativity as our own societies.
