商品簡介
Archaeological consultant Whitley (geographical sciences, Arizona State U.) explores the first visible evidence of religious beliefs and the oldest known creations of art. The oldest examples so far have been found in western Europe, so he focuses his study there. His topics include the world's earliest cave art, at Chauvet in southern France; the dating game at Coa, Portugal; and creativity and the emotional life of the shamans.
