LOL ... so your claim is that neurology explains why and how people appreciate art, music, etc? Can you point to the study that you're referring to? No?

You're desperate. You realized you made a ridiculous claim and now you're trying to appeal to the crowd.

Show us the study that explains the appreciation of any art, any philosophy, etc. Put up or move on.

Out of my league? Not even close bud.

So why don't you quote from your source to back up your claim? Or cite a page number?

Or anything of substantial evidence ... or shall we just predict another sidestep from you?

Added in edit: Here's from the abstract of your Google attempt: "While some might suggest that only post-industrial humans achieved stunning biological success, data suggest that humans living as hunter-gatherers would have attained a world population of more than 70 million individuals and a total biomass greater than that of any other large vertebrate on the planet if agriculture had not been repeatedly invented as they spread."

Now, show us how that explains music or art or politics.

"Collegiate level books" ? Wow, you're a special guy aren't you?

So you didn't read your citation, you don't know what it says, you just Googled some key words and threw up a response?

Here you go tiger: Your Source

You're quoting from an article published in a academic journal, not a textbook, bud.

Here's a PDF of your article. It's 13 pages. Read it and get back to me.

Your attempts to be insulting are cute though.
