than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no
sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a
dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the
greatest riddle in human history", all the skills and qualities
that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully
formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. Graham Hancock
sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment"
and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to
the modern human mind. His quest takes him on a journey of
adventure from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of
prehistoric France, Spain and Italy to remote rock shelters in the
mountains of South Africa where he finds a treasure trove of
extraordinary Stone Age art, ending in the depths of the Amazon
rainforest, where he drinks the powerful plant hallucinogen
Ayahuasca with Indian shamans, whose paintings contain images of
"supernatural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids
depicted in prehistoric caves and rock shelters. Could these
"supernaturals" be the ancient teachers of mankind? And is human
evolution in fact more purposeful and intelligent that we have
barely even begun to understand?
