He takes us through numerous theories—that the-art was section of libido or shopping traditions, or employed for religious reasons, or was family mythology—examining the methods understandings have changed with time. Full of background, people, and detail, The Cave Artists is most importantly broken with amazement for these remote people who developed—perhaps for the very first time—both the power for abstract thought and a lovely and serious method to convey it.
