The beautiful art created deep inside the caves of Western Europe in the late Ice Age provokes awe and wonder in equal measure. What do these animals and symbols on the walls of caves such as Lascaux, Chauvet and Altamira tell us about the nature of the ancestral mind? The author combines a lifetime of anthropological research with the most recent neurological insights... Navy blue cloth boards, silver title to spine.
