Palaeolithic images and the Great Auk
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
In this final contribution on the identification of the birds painted in the Palaeolithic Grotte Cosquer as Great Auks, it is noticed that the birds need to be seen within a Palaeolithic hunter–gatherer's view of the world, which is not the same as that of a modern natural historian or taxonomist.
