SUMMARY:Gems at the J | The Dawn of Human Art
DESCRIPTION:At the Dawn of Human Art Inside the Painted Caves of Southwest France\nWith Stephen\, Dr. Steve\, Phillips\, Ph.D.\, Penn Museum \nOur capability to express ourselves symbolically through art is among the features that make our species unique in the animal kingdom. The search for the origins of human art plays an important role in anthropological research to this very day. Why produce art at all? Can we\, from our viewpoint tens of thousands of years later\, even understand the intent of the Paleolithic artisans who created these images deep inside remote caves? \nModern human artistic expression is evident in the form of hundreds\, if not thousands\, of stunning images painted onto the walls of caves in southern France. Early modern human occupations of these painted caves range in date from about 15\,000 years ago to as much as 30\,000 years ago and beyond\, an astounding depth of time. \nOver the course of four summers excavating a Neanderthal era archaeological site elsewhere in southwest France\, Dr. Steve had the opportunity to visit several of these remarkable caves personally\, including going inside two of them. \nThis lecture takes us on a journey to three of these remarkable sites: Font de Gaume\, Lascaux\, and Chauvet. The images you will see we can relate to. However\, can we relate to why these images existed at such a distant time in our human cultural history? \nClick here to register!
