This book was a real discovery for me, especially as it took place at Lascaux. This book is a small wonder that makes a statement about human prehistory to the early civilizations. His date of publication reflects discoveries and developments in the assumptions about human origins (well mixed Neanderthal / Cro Magnon); the characteristics of the human being, its evolution ... I have some knowledge of history and prehistory, but then I learned yet. The book includes beautiful illustrations, mapping is optimal. In short it is an excellent book as I have not read and seen in a long time.
