Art and Adaptability argues for a co-evolution of theory of mind
and material/art culture. The book covers relevant areas from great
ape intelligence, hominin evolution, Stone Age tools, Paleolithic
culture and art forms, to neurobiology. We use material and art
objects, whether painting or sculpture, to modify our own and other
people's thoughts so as to affect behavior. We don't just make
judgments about mental states; we create objects about which we
make judgments in which mental states are inherent. Moreover, we
make judgments about these objects to facilitate how we explore the
minds and feelings of others. The argument is that it's not so much
art because of theory of mind but art as theory of mind.
