Technology & the Origins of Creativity

Which came first, technology or humanity? The answer might surprise you. Anthropologist Carie Little Hersh joins Dirk and Jon to look at creativity, technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) through the lens of science.

Anthropologist Carie Little Hersh kicks off our journey to future-proof creatives. Dr. Hersh helps us explore the evolution of creativity and technology. We discuss the relationships between humanity, technology, and creativity, how and why humans develop technology, and whether Steven Pinker's contention that this is the best time to be alive is really true.
