The Resilient Imagination: How Art Became Humanity’s Survival Code
from The Hypothesis · host 128596915
In this podcast, we explore a radical idea: that art is not a luxury or cultural add-on, but a biological survival mechanism embedded deep in human evolution. Drawing from anthropology, neuroscience, and history, we uncover how creativity helped our species navigate pandemics, wars, oppression, and existential crises. Join us as we decode why, in times of chaos, it is always the artists who light the way forward.
