- W2300554753 abstract "The ability to create and appreciate art is thought to be one of the most striking features of being human. Some researchers have questioned whether this capacity is limited to man, and have attempted to find similar behaviour among other animals, such as birds and elephants. For phylogenetic reasons, non-human primates warrant special attention. In this study, I aim to reinvestigate claims that these species are capable of creating art. In order to do so, the main empirical studies debating ape art, performed during the previous century, where gathered (Kellogg & Kellogg 1933, Kohts 1935, Schiller 1951, Morris 1962). The findings from these studies are compared to present-day research on the cognitive foundations of art production in humans (e.g. De Smedt & De Cruz 2011), in order to assess whether the registered ape behaviour corresponds to what are considered cognitive prerequisites for the human ability to create art. Based on this analysis, I conclude that the label of art is not to be attributed to non-human primates, because no convincing correlations arise between original empirical work and current cognitive knowledge on human artistic cognition. Non-human primate paintings and drawings probably spring from basic visual perception mechanisms shared with humans. Painting and drawing in great apes does not qualify as art in a human sense, and we should be aware of the tendency to anthropomorphize. In addition, this implies reconsidering the relevance of the ape art debate for researching the origins of art in human evolution." @default.
