J. David Lewis-Williams is world renowned for his work on the rock
art of Southern Africa. In this volume, Lewis-Williams describes
the key steps in his evolving journey to understand these images
painted on stone. He describes the development of technical methods
of interpreting rock paintings of the 1970s, shows how a growing
understanding of San mythology, cosmology, and ethnography helped
decode the complex paintings, and traces the development of
neuropsychological models for understanding the relationship
between belief systems and rock art. The author then applies his
theories to the famous rock paintings of prehistoric Western Europe
in an attempt to develop a comprehensive theory of rock art. For
students of rock art, archaeology, ethnography, comparative
religion, and art history, Lewis-Williams' book will be a
provocative read and an important reference.
