Who are we? How did we get here? What’s the point? This are just some of the many question we ask ourselves, questions to which the answers we do not know. But one thing is for sure according to me, it is these questions, simple but so complicated questions that have led us this far in life. These questions are the ones that have led man in the quest for discovering who he is. These questions are the one that in the first place have led to the discovery of art, religion, history and philosophy.
In the past and even now in the future, art has been a means of expressing ones feelings and emotions. Art has always been there since long. People looking for ways to keep themselves busy, invented art, looking for answers as to who they were. As they were trying to figure out what’s the point of their being. Petro glyphs, rock paintings, sculptures and cave paintings dating to about 40000 years ago have been found but unfortunately little is known about the source cultures that produced them. Men indulged in arts to find answers to who they are it is this. It is this simple stuff that they left for us that they left for us that help us know our history, where we come from.
Man always wondered ‘who am I?’, ‘How did I get here?’ this in turn led to the growth of religion? Man started getting religious beliefs of existence of supernatural beings. There emerged different cultures all in a bid to figure out who they were and where they came from. Different communities got different names for their creator and had different cultural practices to appease their creator.
Man’s quest to answer those questions led to the study of the past. Every generation studied the past’s generation history to know more about themselves. History became a critical part of knowing who we are and where we come from. Due to technology and the growth of man’s mental capacity, science was also invented. Man always had to find the easiest and quickest way to seek information and live their lives. These very questions are the ones that led to the introduction of humanities which mostly tell about man’s past and his way of living. The sciences that man invented have helped a lot in finding out man’s past but unfortunately we still do not know and agree on where we came from we have different answers but science seeks to answer all this question we keep asking ourselves and religion, history and humanities help us live better lives on earth.
