Of course I am not well versed enough to be able to make a general assessment of this book, but a number of aspects that I do know something about (the evolution from hominids to humans, for example) allow me to say that this is a very solid, up-to-date to date book that offers a truly global look at both the uniqueness of humans and their embeddedness in the natural environment. I know, anthropocentrism has long since ceased to be woke, but I think we should certainly dare to face the ways in which our species distinguishes itselve – for better and for worse – from our environment. Fuentes rightly follows the nuanced middle ground.
In itself, the focus on creativity is not so earth-shattering and unique. As the book shows, behind that notion lies a complex interaction of consciousness, imagination, cognitive abilities, communication skills, cooperation, and so on. As a result, this book offers much more than an investigation into where and how human creativity originated (the question in itself - in that formulation - is of course nonsensical).
