[CHICAGO, IL, November 12, 2024] -- The Commonality of Humans Through Art assembles ten leading scholars in a masterpiece collection of chapters on art history and cultural anthropology and how the language of art has shaped human behavior from birth to death.
With contributions from distinguished experts, the book combines insights from fields in neuroscience, anthropology, and art.

This 576-page book explores themes of family, motherhood, conflict, warfare, sickness, healing, religion, and the brain and how art has influenced human life over the past 30,000 years.
