Where do we find the world's very first art? When, and why, did
people begin experimenting with different materials, forms and
colours? Were our once-cousins, the Neanderthals, also capable of
creating art? Prehistorians have been asking these questions of our
ancestors for decades, but only very recently, with the development
of cutting-edge scientific and archaeological techniques, have we
been able to piece together the first chapter in the story of art.
Overturning the traditional Eurocentric vision of our artistic
origins, which has focused almost exclusively on the Franco-Spanish
cave art, Paul Bahn and Michel Lorblanchet take the reader on a
search for the earliest art across the whole world. They show that
our earliest ancestors were far from being the creatively
impoverished primitives of past accounts, and Europe was by no
means the only 'cradle' of art; the artistic impulse developed in
the human mind wherever it travelled. The long universal history of
art mirrors the development of humanity.
