Our early ancestors enjoyed imaginative flights of protoliterary experience, which accelerated our evolution as literary animals. Easterlins place strikingly parallels what Cosmides and Tooby (1997) have called the environment of evolutionary adaptedness (EEA): EEA is not a place or time. In these fields, metaphor is not just a figure of speech. Whether in the form of gossip or fiction, stories engage our social monitoring instincts (Boyd 2009). Examples of some imaginary animals created by students. A. Scutum squamatum. Habitat: cold and wet areas (Cold Island of SEAM planet; Fig. 2B).

It is a process of conceptual blending that results in the creation of new meaning (Fauconnier and Turner 2003, 39). Universals allow humans to interact through make-believe with rules. The enraged leopard attacks him so fiercely that he is obliged to stab her. As putative adaptations, it is likely that many frames and modules evolved in the common ancestor of humans and other mammals; our ability to understand the emotional disposition of dogs and vice versa (Bekoff 2007), for example, suggests that we share affective frames. Animal Metaphors and Metaphorizing Animals: An Integrated Literary, Cognitive, and Evolutionary Analysis of Making and Partaking of Stories.

Theory of mind is the ability of one individual to guess or attribute the mental states of another, and this ability is thought to be essential in human and interspecies communication (Premack and Woodruff 1978). Though one may intend, or claim ones intention is merely to explain something using metaphor, the metaphors we use can get misinterpreted or stir strong emotion that interferes with rational analysis and policy decisions congruent with the laws of nature. Since fear of death is a human universal and our working assumption is that humans often distance themselves from animals to manage such fear, we propose anxiety about being animals, induced by evolutionary theory, as an underlying preoccupation of the poem.
