ART DOES NOT EVOLVE THATS THE MOST RETARDED THING IVE EVER HEARD. FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!! Who the fuck is so retarded that they dont understand this concept? Its a biological fact. Evolution is when something changes for the better due to selective pressures. Art doesnt improve or evolve because art is judged as something that human emotions respond to. You get sad over a sad song. You get angry over an angry song. And on and on. ART IS HUMAN RESPONSE TO EPITOMIZED EMOTIONS. Love, fear, jealousy, hatred, etc. Someone paints a picture that feels sad and you feel sad looking at it because the artist has found his way of depicting sadness and you feel sad. So by that logic, there is no "evolution" to art.
Your point would be correct if your science was. Evolution is not the process by which something is made better – this is a classic example of a superficial reading of Evolutionary theory. This is the sort of evolutionary perversion that leads to the belief of ethnic superiority and a master race.
Evolution is a process in which variation (typically genetic) occurs and as those who have the variation gain some survival advantage if environmental conditions change in the future. It is random variation and it is only over deep time that the appearance of complexity occurs. - Daniel C Dennett (Darwin’s Dangerous Idea)
Use Richard Dawkins’ (Blind Watchmaker) concept of meme (a packet of information instead of a gene) trying to survive within a culture – you can apply evolutionary thinking to contemporary society – but by Dawkins own admission and many other biologist’s opinion (which you place in such high esteem) it is a stretch to apply such biological theory to culture.
Therefore variation can come from any source; the Beatles’ ‘cut and paste’ start to Strawberry Fields, Beach Boys use of Theremin or a 19 year old (who by your standards hasn’t done his ‘song writing’ chops). The important part is how the environment responds to it and if that variation will give what is created any greater chance of survival.
You claim superiority through your scientific approach to criticism, then scream at the world for sustaining music that you do not like. You can not have your cake and eat it; Good Friend you either accept the objectivity of a scientist or do not evoke it. Be just like the rest of us mortals and let your opinions be just that, opinions – not quasi-science!
Sorry buddy. There is no new "love". There is no new "hate". There is no new nothing. You are no better than the people who lived in caves. The human brain HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE CAVEMAN DAYS. Same emotions. Same capacity for memory and affection. Same capacity for wonder, greed, etc.
Now this is biologically proven by fucking scientists. Do you know what "biology" is? Biologists study what is real, not what might be real. They look inside and build off of proven facts. Biology is ever correcting itself, taking only what has been proven through extensive controlled studies for as far back as science has existed. Biology is not concerned with fake evidence or delusional self centered approach to discovery.
Could you please quote the studies you are referring to that prove that the human brain has not changed since caveman days? Since you use such a colloquial phrase as ‘caveman days’ convinces me that your actual scientific knowledge is nil. Which particular ancestor of modern humans (homo-sapiens) were you referring to?
The concept of early man living in cave is a misconception generated by Neolithic cave paintings first found in Spain and France. Paintings in these caves were completed by our Cro Magnon ancestors (not homo-sapiens) and they were actually nomadic hunters who dwelled in caves only in the depth of an ice age winter. ‘Caveman days’ comes more from Hollywood depictions than it does from real biology.
Just because you use uppercase does not make it any more correct - you are wrong, wrong, wrong! The human brain is constantly changing and has a huge degree of plasticity and adaptability. That is a scientific fact proven by neurobiologists using brain-scanning technology such as fMRI, through classic clinical observation and longitudinal studies. Watch the BBCs series ‘Child of our Time’ or the classic ‘7 Up’ to watch how the brain evolves and response to environmental change.
Modern humans (and I emphasis 1/3 of the worlds population that live in a so called modern civilisation) live in an infinitely more complex world than even early homo sapiens. We mange a greater number of relationships with less clear reasons as to the benefit of such relationships than an early hunter/gather tribal groups.
While the work of Desmond Morris (The Naked Ape) and Levi-Strauss suggest that underlying cultural transaction are unchanged it is naive of you to assume that love, hate and greed exist in the same context as previous times and therefore remain the same.
10 years ago no-one discovered their lovers betrayal by finding ‘text’ massages to another lover – the emotions may be similar to previous times but the new contexts makes the experience infinitely different.
Your idea of science is prepubescent, even in your limited capacity to evoke it you betray your absolute ignorance of what science has taught us. You think that in someway it bring about some sort of predictability and you believe yourself superior because you supposedly posses that knowledge.
As I’ve said before get your science right and try and be a human occasionally, then you may actually be a Good Friend
