science and art

Science is often thought to rob the arts of their importance and vitality. How ironic that evolutionary theory leads to a conception of the arts as such an important part of our "social physiology" that they can even be regarded as vital organs.

Science allows us to appreciate art more because through science, we can begin to understand why it is that we crave art, need art.
