Precursores evolutivos y antropológicos de la conducta innovadora : Capítulo 1

Abstract

This chapter reviews evolutionary and anthropological aspects related to the emergence of creative behavior. It considers the ethological perspective referred to the possible outbreaks of innovative behavior in flexible behavior, both in non-human species and in some phylogenetically related to human beings. Likewise, from the anthropological dimension, the phenomenon of the creative manifestations of some peoples is approached, emphasizing aspects related to the cultural heritage represented in their architecture and artistic forms, assuming that these offer a possibility to follow the trail of the creative and flexible spirit that is constituted as a fundamental component of the human being.
