Re: Humanity?

["Jackie DiGiovanni" <jmdigiovanni -at- comcast -dot- net>]

>From www.dictionary.net

humanities noun
studies intended to provide general knowledge and intellectual skills 
(rather than occupational or professional skills); "the college of arts and 
sciences" [syn: humanistic discipline, liberal arts, arts]
Source: WordNet (r) 2.0


I suggest rephrasing your sentence around some synonyms, or perhaps 
something like, Understanding art history is an invaluable underpinning of 
the Humanities.
