PREHISTORICAL HOMO SAPIENS
Ivan Eve
What
appears clearly today in the field of Paleolithic archaeology is that we need
to develop two levels of analysis that were systematically missing before. The
first one is linguistic. All these paleolithic paintings, engravings, and
sculptures were associated with some language, to be described, to be
designated and to be used in what probably was serious rituals. That language
was in Europe a set of Turkic dialects that have been saved today by becoming Basque.
But the next development needed today is to understand the social, and cultural
position of women in this society only guided by the need to survive and the
need to expand. Women were the key and center of this urgency. That's what
Alexander Marshack saw and was not able to exploit, explore, understand. And
that's what this book is all about.
