Summary: The author demonstrates that human creativity began not 10,000 years ago, as we have long assumed, but over 100,000 years ago in the Paleolithic Age. Chronicling the evolution of creativity from primates to humans, he shows how the humanities, in large part spurred on by the invention of language, have played a previously unexamined role in defining our species.
