We need to reverse-engineer our present artistic tastes and preferences and explain how they came to be engraved in our minds by the actions of both our prehistoric, largely pleistocene environments, where we became fully human, but also by the social situations in which we evolved.
Treba da istražimo poreklo i nastanak savremenih umetničkih sklonosti i ukusa i da objasnimo kako se desilo da budu urezani u ljudski um. Pod uticajem preistorijske u najvećoj meri pleistocenske sredine, u kojoj smo postali ljudima, ali u istoj meri i pod uticajem društvenih prilika u kojima smo se razvijali.
