It
is seen that the evolution of Sabaragamuwa Dance has been created due to the
promotion of Imitation with Adaptation Motion of the Sri Lankan ‘Vedda’
(ancestors of Sri Lanka). When studying the Palebiodiversity, Paleoantology and
Archeology related to Sri Lanka, the imitation with adaptation motion has been
started in the latter part of Pleistocene epoch where the Balangoda Hominins
are found. Homo sapiens balangodensis was named by Dr. P.E.P.
Deraniyagala in 1955 as a subspecies of Homo sapiens. Strong and large
jaws, short neck, well developed teeth, short forehead are unique features of
Balngoda Hominins. According to the external morphological characteristics and
habitual characteristics, there is a high likelihood for Vedda to be the live
biological linkage of the Balangoda Hominins.The behavioral nature of man lived
around the caves depends on the Paleo-neurology activities. As a result the Pre-Gesture has been created.
It is bonded with the relative consistency of the number organisms of species
struggle for the existence, survival of the fittest and adaptation for living
through the natural selection. The evolution of imitation can be seen as a virtual
motion through the expression of feelings in human niche. The resonance motion
results through the stimulation of the basic imitation has been a common rule. The horizontal and vertical
oscillations in the locomotion of the Balangoda Hominins can be observed in the
traditional dances of the Vedda. The basic necessities of the Sabaragamuwa
dancing style is same as the neo-motions developed through the pre element of motion described above. Though the Sabaragamuwa dancing takes a
traditional vies, in the viewpoint of science it has to be changed according to
the time. If homo sapiens is to evolve
more, then the motions of the traditional dancing is changing accordingly.
