A review by peterpink
The Mind in the Cave: Consciousness and the Origins of Art by David Lewis-Williams

4.0

Bought this from the shop outside les Baux (?) cave in France, having been overwhelmed at the sight of such works, and the valiant efforts of the guide to explain in English. As one who has none of the expertise of some reviewers, i was truly grateful for the tour that this book gave me into an unknown world.
I appreciate that none of his arguments can be based on certainty, but it was a delight to be taken away from simplistic explanations, and to think about the way that thinking and the development of means by which newly developing desires (?) to establish permanence could have come about. And why.
Have since read others, and still find the whole issue exciting, challenging, mind opening, and uncertain.
