COMMENTS:
Can't really say, they're both distinctively human fields.
I've seen gorillas fingerpaint, but I've never seen one operate a bunson burner.
I'd say not, thc. An animal can build a shelter capable of haousing a number of its young with relative ease, but I've never met the animal that could conceive of putting a crucufix in urine and calling it art (for the record, no matter WHAT the NEA says, it AIN'T).
Both.
Youre saying they have EXACTLY the same distinctiveness to humans?
Sure. We are just so radically different from any other species on earth, in all respects. And by different I mean advanced. Just take a step back and look at the human race, see how far we have come. When do you see animals ever doing things for fun? Everything they do has a meaning. Like scavenging for food and fighting eachother. When cats play it's just their instincts to catch prey. It's nothing creative. Do animals tell stories? No. Animals have no accounts of history. Animals communicate, kinda. They are definatly no Shakespears though. Do animals do art? No. Maybe a few monkeys splash some paint on a board to get a bannana. Same thing with dancing. But they dont spend their time in art. Now, technology? That's simple. The most advanced technology in the animal world has to be a monkey putting a stick in the ground to get some bugs. Maybe a spider making a web, that's some nice geometry I guess. Ha! Poop out string and walk in a circles - yeah right! With liberal arts, and science/technology, I think it is perfectly balanced. With a combination of both of these qualities comes advancement.
