The headline and the deck of the article are contradictory. The headline claims art "invented humanity" while the deck says art allowed us to "find out who they really were." One is an invention the other is a discovery. One implies a malleable identity, the other a ground truth.
I'm partial to the first — our conception of ourselves is largely a creation of our imagination.

How has art invented us, or allowed us to find us who we really are, more than science, or a conversation with friends, or countless other things?
My bullshit detector was running pretty high while reading the article.
