The question of what makes humanity is one that I'm thinking about frequently. All the friggin' time. And this letter to New Scientist is good input. So good that I'll retype the whole fargin' thing:
Technohominids
From Dennis White
Now that it is no longer possible to cite language as the defining difference between Homo sapiens and H. neanderthalensis, the enquiry becomes more esoteric, as exemlplified in Steven Mithen's fascinating article (17 May, p 40).
It was, of course, antural for linguistic thinkers to assume that their particular mode of reasoning was crucial, but our technological history indicates otherwise. For themI propose a simple experiment: describe in words an abstract three-dimensional form that you have never seen before without forming an image of it in the mind's eye first. We are distinguished from other creatures not by what we have said but by what we have made. The Neanderthals' ability to reason visually was clearly inferior to ours. So it was us who developed superior technologies and took over the world.
I knew a cabinet maker who could neither speak nor hear, but had complete command of 3D form: working drawings showed all he needed to know. Some 70 per cent of the content of the human mind is visual, leaving 30 per cent to be shared between aural, verbal, tactile, motor, taste and smell.
It has bee recorded that listening to Mozart raises the IQ and that the effect persists for half an hour after th music stops. There must be similar effects from the other arts, helping to explain why they are felt to be of value. Composers think aurally, writers verbally, artists and desingners visually. With pure visual reasoning, any verbal thought is an interruption, an intrusion, a nuisance.
You cannot talk an axe, a bow, a shelter into existence, you can only talk about it after it already exists as a vision in the mind. Likewise with every development and modification.
It is no coincidence that our ancestors were master draughtsmen on cave walls and made sculptures and ornaments. Real visual art expresses the essense of being human, the unique designing animal with the faculty of visual reasoning -- and hands, of course.
