La figuration humaine dans l’art paléolithique
‘Here is an admirably illustrated book about the singular representations of human figures in prehistory. The authors’ comprehensive overview of human representations highlights the importance of these engraved, sculpted or painted images within the Palaeolithic bestiary, which is often better known to the general public. This book offers a fresh reading of human representations in Palaeolithic art, which continues to fascinate us to this day. The French Ministry of Culture’s Centre national de Préhistoire implements the national policy on decorated caves. It brings together experts in prehistory and publishes methodological, technical and scientific works. Oscar Fuentes, a prehistorian, and Nathalie Cahoreau, in charge of scientific outreach, have combined their talents to produce this book’.
