The humanities have yet to come to grips with the chimaeric nature of our minds and creativity. We are ruled by emotions inscribed in our DNA by prehistoric events little known and only partly understood. Meanwhile, infinitely puzzled, we have been catapulted into a technoscientific age that may in time serve instructions to robots well but not the ancient values and feelings that keep us indelibly human.
