This is a fascinating take on the roots of divergent and convergent creativity thanks Erman. I particularly love the foraging concept encouraging us to strike the balance between exploring fertile new ground to see what emerges, and exploiting existing tried and tested routes / resources. Lots to think about :)
Before the research was published a couple of months ago, I don't think anybody knew creativity could be cultivated selectively by the kinds of routes you navigate. That's why I try to keep up with the latest studies! Thanks for commenting, Chris.
Insightful read. I had no idea about the connection between our foraging history and creative tendencies. Awesome. Thank you, Erman!
Thanks for reading!

This is fascinating. I had heard of convergent vs. divergent thinking before but didn't know it could be cultivated!
