- W2349201334 abstract "IN THE BEGINNING: PLEISTOCENE AND INFANT AESTHETICS AND TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY EDUCATION IN THE ARTS by Ellen Dissanayake This chapter is written from a viewpoint largely unfamiliar to arts educators and arts education researchers—that of evolutionary psychology, whose basic tenet is that the human mind has been prepared by natural selection, operating over geological time, for life in a human group (Bjorklund and Pellegrini, 2002). My concern here is with the arts as they originated and developed during the evolution of the human species (phylogeny) and as they emerge in individuals (ontogeny). My hypothesis proposes that arts—or, more accurately, aesthetic proclivities that can be realized in every art—evolved over hundreds of thousands of years in our Pleistocene ancestors, contributing to their psychobiological fitness. 1 Manifested first in mother-infant interactions and later elaborated in cultural practices, these inherent aesthetic proclivities are in the repertoire of every individual human, from infancy to old age. They are normal, natural, and necessary human endowments. Such a broad and perhaps surprising claim provides justification for the importance of arts education and arts educational research, even though its author is not a practitioner of either profession. It is not my task here to suggest subjects or questions for research or point out connections between my ideas and other particular subjects of study that interest arts educators. The aim, rather, is to give arts educators and researchers empirical and theoretical support for an essential, if tacit, principle of their work: that the arts have been and remain not only important but integral to human lives. My argument is composed of five interrelated claims. These are followed by a concluding commentary that emphasizes the importance to individuals and societies of recognizing and developing the aesthetic abilities with which all humans are psychobiologically endowed. It further describes how a Pleistocene perspective can contribute to ideas about arts education in the twenty-first century." @default.
