I don’t know how much this story relates to layers of ancient animal imagery, but it does back up the standard notion that ancient art was meant to recount important practical stories rather than abstract imagery common to the root forces of life. It suggests that ancient humans are closer to the world of animals, to those aesthetic universe ale that may or may not exist along the evolutionary pathways of life. ~ Page 235
So what are our root images, the visual thoughts at the earliest memories in our brains, those pictures that precede even language or any attempts to organize thought? This is why I am interested in the earliest glimmers of human art – not ao much ro explain why our species needs art but to ask what are the most basic things our brains can see. We have to get far back beyond the idea of representing tasty animals that we would like to kill and eat, into the very imagery the brain makes for itself even without any outside stimuli. ` Page 236
