Interpreting Sapiens’ Consciousness through Paleolithic Cave Art
The Lascaux Testament
This book identifies a new path through Paleolithic cave art, arguing the shaman-artists of Lascaux depicted the soul's journey between the spirit and natural worlds. Using ethological evidence, it shows how the art maps a spectrum of consciousness involving the five senses.
