Aesthetic Realism Foundation
Anthropologist Arnold Perey describes how, to understand evolution, we need to understand the opposites of Continuity and Discontinuity, as described by Eli Siegel in Point 8 of his landmark publication “Is Beauty the Making One of Opposites?”: http://terraingallery.org/is-beauty-t…
In this video you see scientifically and pleasurably (1) why evolution is beautiful, (2) the humor in the way such different creatures as human and lizard developed in a line of unbroken continuity, and (3) why we should know this.
