Dr Jack Kruse: "If you really read my last blog, what did I say creativity was a function of? It's a regressive evolution. I believe that we became more creative just by wearing clothes. Everybody looks at creativity as a positive thing, like Rick does. I don't.
"I think it's actually shows us the devolution between Neanderthals to us. Neanderthals had 125 grams more tissue in their head. We have less. And what happened with Neanderthals when they left the East African Rift? They went to Europe, your latitude. What did they do? They started wearing skins. What's the first time we ever saw human creativity, ever? Cave paintings, when Neanderthals and humans both lived on the planet. That's where artwork came from. It came from a lower dopamine state from our original state.
"If you understand what I just said, are there levels north (or rostral) of human evolution? The answer is yes. I believe since Neanderthals, I believe since last 25,000 years, humans have been devolving. We have changed our frontal lobe's abilities. Most of the thing that you find interesting in the Louvre, in science and in art.
"There's a reason, Sara, they call them the Dark Ages. Remember, you're a UK girl, so you can go tomorrow into the museums. I hope you do this.
"When you go I want you to do it with this eye. Look on the wall about how artists painted with light in 1200s vs how they painted with it all the way up to Monet. You'll notice something startling. You'll also notice and have a new appreciation for Michelangelo and DaVinci's work. they were known as the artists that painted with light. Who was the first guy that innovated light? Rembrandt.
"You're going to start to see this story of that dopamine state. Then you're going to go back and look at those slides that I take from Alexander Wunsch and keep telling people look at the top: tyrosine, phenylalanine, T3, L-DOPA, melanin, dopamine and noradrenaline. What you're going to begin to realize from Noether's theorem, not only does that pathway work left to right, it works right to left.
"Right now you're a modern mammal, who your entire human existence, the entire history of humanity, has been lived when we're going the wrong way. How do you like that?"
