Finally, we explore how an evolutionary approach to communication, sociality, and the arts might contribute to our knowledge of how to send a message to extraterrestrials. Then, we argue that art, within and evolutionary framework, is best seen as a form of communication, involving a message sent by one individual that is aimed at influencing particular social behaviors in others. Next, we briefly define and summarize communication in an evolutionary context. After a quick overview of evolutionary theory, we take a brief look at the evolution of sociality as we assume that the specializations necessary for the evolution of complex and advanced systems of communication will evolve in other places as they have evolved here on Earth, namely in a social species. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this chapter we shall examine what an evolutionarily informed approach to social behavior in general, and communication in art in particular, can contribute to attempts to communicate with unseen and unknown forms of extraterrestrial life.
