Abstract
The act of drawing is an act of recording. Science requires the recording of data to seek insights and patterns. The mind that contemplates recording in a place and with a medium that will be seen by others at a future time implies a mind that can conceive of a future and also believes in teaching/learning through communication. Some researchers believe that it is likely that this cognitive ability-in this case, provided by drawing data-marks the distinction between our species and other hominids (Suddendorf & Corballis, 2007). We humans could plan for a future we could imagine.
