What Do Cave Paintings Tell Us? || John Felvinci || MCLL Lecture

Many cave and rock paintings have been discovered over the last 150 years around the world. They range in age from 4,000 to 45,000 years. The paintings tell us much about the hunters, the animals, and the climate at the times of their creation. In this lecture we will examine many of the paintings and draw conclusions about the various artists. --------------------------------------------------------- McGill Community for Lifelong Learning (MCLL), part of McGill University, is a non-profit, volunteer-based community of seniors focused on peer learning. MCLL is for people who want to continue learning for the joy of it, and who wish to share their knowledge, ideas, experience and interests with others. No exams or grades to worry about, and no age limits! The result is a rich and dynamic learning environment. MCLL was founded in 1989 and is patterned on a model developed at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As part of the McGill School of Continuing Studies, MCLL is a non-profit organization, led by volunteers and managed by a council elected from among its members.
