The many hundreds of books and thousands of academic papers on the
topic of Pleistocene (Ice Age) art are limited in their approach
because they deal only with the early art of southwestern Europe.
This is the first book to offer a comprehensive synthesis of the
known Pleistocene palaeoart of six continents, a phenomenon that is
in fact more numerous and older in other continents. It
contemplates the origins of art in a balanced manner, based on
reality rather than fantasies about cultural primacy. Its key
findings challenge most previous perceptions in this field and
literally re-write the discipline. Despite the eclectic format and
its high academic standards, the book addresses the non-specialist
as well as the specialist reader. It presents a panorama of the
rich history of palaeoart, stretching back more than twenty times
as long in time as the cave art of France and Spain. This abundance
of evidence is harnessed in presenting a new hypothesis of how
early humans began to form and express constructs of reality and
thus created the ideational world in which they existed. It
explains how art-producing behaviour began and the origins of how
humans relate to the world consciously.
