    And don't say, "there are so many to choose from..."

    Or maybe an entire category....

    I am not necessarily an "art" guy, but I can appreciate it....

    I'll say.... those ancient sculptures are pretty good, like of the Greeks or of the Renaissance and all in between.

    Architectural works: pyramids, Sphinx, towers, steel architecture and modern skyscrapers

    Paintings: Dali?

    Music: ??????????????

    Photography: is this even art?

    Cinema: ??????????????

    Are there any categories I'm missing?

    "Art as a fitness indicator. It has been argued that the ability of the human brain by far exceeds what was needed for survival in the ancestral environment. Oneevolutionary psychology explanation for this is that the human brain and associated traits (such as artistic ability and creativity) are the human equivalent of the peacock's tail. The purpose of the male peacock's extravagant tail has been argued to be to attract females (see also Fisherian runaway and handicap principle). According to this theory superior execution of art was evolutionary important because it attracted mates."

    Oh no!!!!!

    I'm fucked!!!!!

    I will never reproduce!!!! Even back when I played guitar, I never wrote my own stuff!!!!!!

    I get what you're saying and I agree. That is the most beautiful natural creation.

    But that isn't art. That was created by nature.

    That was just covered in the last post. I meant "human art" that is created by human beings.

    And, yes, I agree. That (some of them) is better than the best piece of human art.

    But what is the best piece of "human art?"

    Is it Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA"? Lol.

    How do you know she doesn't have a nasty attitude? She kind of looks like she might.

    Ezm8 is not a troll. I'm pretty sure everyone knows who the current troll is.

    How much art is based off the female body so I'm going with that.

    So, the culmination of our 200,000 years of existence is The Blue Man Group and "Bitch" by whoever rights that annoying song. Lol.

    Haha!!!!!

    Okay... see.... I think science is much more impressive.

    Give me the Large Hadron Collider any day.

    But give me the female body over the Large Hadron Collider.

    The Blue Man Group is our most impressive accomplishment!! Haha. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's really cool and all.

    I would have to put engineering and architectural feats as more impressive than pure artwork.

    The Pyramids, Eiffel Tower, those Russian domed cathedrals. That is more impressive than a Salvador Dali painting, I think.

    Or maybe she's just in a bad mood because she's currently being objectified. Do you think that might the case?

    I would call it architecture, which is art in a way.

    Architecture is my favorite form of art, I should say.
