==Question 8: What is the evolutionary advantage of Art ?==
: Art is most likely an exaptation of the primate sense of shapes, and the ability to quickly pick out and identify shapes in patterns and images. This sense seems to be instinctual in pirmate species, and is the reason that humans see shapes in clouds and the surface of the Moon. Art was very likely a unifying force in early communities, where artists could use images to teach people about their history, how to hunt, which plants not to eat, and so on. What we call "cave art" may well have been vital information for our ancestors, as well as something nice to look at. [[User:RachelW|RachelW]] 09:20, 30 January 2012 (EST)
