Paleolithic juvenilia
Article Abstract:
A new kind of interpretation provides a more prosaic explanation for cave art, that is, the expression of adolescent boys' preoccupation with hunting and sex. Very anxious to know about such ancient artists, R. Dale Guthrie, a paleobiologist emeritus, analyzed and compared the handprints common to many image-bearing caves with around 700 children, teenagers and adults at local Fairbanks schools. He found that the groups were comparable and the cave handprints match up with modern children aged 10 to 16.
