Description: The power of imagination sets humans apart from all other animals. We look for ‘missing links’ - like prehistoric bones and skulls - to understand where we come from. Yet, since facts never speak for themselves, we rely on fiction. Ultimately, we are tricked into creating images of who we think we are.
