"Among those who have argued that art is a practice evolved in the service of sexual selection are Geoffrey Miller, in The Mating Mind (2000), chapter 8, and Denis Dutton, in The Art Instinct (2009). A more developed and appealing account is offered by the ethologist Ellen Dissanayake." --The Philosophy of Art, 21, Stephen Davies, 2017 |
