So, what we perceive as ' cultural evolution ' is due to changes not
only of the cultural environment within but also due to our own per-
ception of things !?
Understandable, but does the ' proclaimed evolution ' of perfor-
mances hasn 't a say in things !?
Evolution within the cultural landscape is the result of ever chan-
gin' performances of cultural/ social/... intercourse/ attempts and
perceptions of those things, don 't you than not count in the
changes to the performances themselves !?
Performances of which I think have to have some neurological
bias to be " performed "_ there has to be movement, will, urge,
strive, commitment,........!?
Just a question,
Kenneth
