2 Talks about Creativity at the 2019 Science Festival in Gothenburg (UH)
Last week I participated in the International Science Festival in Gothenburg with two talks consistent with the conference theme Astonishing thought – Creativity. Why do our species have a creative ability? The answer lies our evolutionary past. The human lineage started in Tugen Hills. Findings from the Afar region in northern Ethiopia suggests that our ancestors started to eat bone marrow ca 3.6 million years before the present. This new nutrient dense diet caused a reduction of their guts and expansion of their brains. Ambrose (2010) suggests that ~ 70 000 before present, constructive memory (Schacter and Addis, 2007) emerged. Creativity is responsible for all artifacts and will be the answer to establishing a sustainable future. 7 sidor. Please support the blog via Swish (Sweden), MobilePay (Finland) or Wise.
