| Research Abstract |
Humans are unique among animals in their rationality and sociability. David Hume observed that humans and other animals share the basic workings of mind, while humans pursue intellectual and social activities unlike other animals. Consideration of Hume's insight, in the light of historical as well as contemporary findings, suggests that human creativity is most clearly displayed in the pursuit of uncertain goals, and at the same time is rooted in the cognitive functions that give rise to new and adaptive behaviors in both humans and other animals.
