Aurignacian Epoch One
of Glorious Deeds,
Records Show

Then came the Acheulian
epoch, when they began, more
skillfully. to chip fints for tools
and weapons of the rudest kind,
and had become, perhaps, . little
handsomer.
Next succeeded the Mouste-
rian epoch, in which a little adj
vance was made along the same
lines, while q certain degree of
skill was developed in the fash
Joining of bones instead of fints
into tools and weapons.
And then came the great Aur-
ignacian epoch, which, in the
light Of recent discoveries, seems
TO me one of the most glorious
in the entire career of humanity.
The interest that one takes in it
is akin to that which we feel in
the first dawning of intelligent
action in a child. The Aurigna-
clan was the typical man-child.

Thousands of Readers
Never Heard of
kurignacianS

There are, no doubt, many
thousands of readers who have
never heard of those wonderful
ancestors of ours, the Aurig-
nacians. / must, then, explain
who they were and when they
lived.
To find them we have to go
back so far that, from the point
of view which they occupied, the
greatness of Babylonia and
Egypt, with which recorded his
tory beings, was hidden far be-
meath the horizon of coming
time. The space of time stretch
ing between them and the days
when Joseph was sold by his
brethren into Egypt is hum
dred times longer than that
which separates us from the age
of the Pharaohs!
History as we know it is only
a little islet in the ocean of
geological time, and when we
have gone back to the uttermost
extremity of our islet we have
hardly drawn perceptibly nearer
to the immensely longer island
of time that was occupied by the
Aurignacians and their predeces-
sors. 1t lies away off beyond
the mists and the waves, invisi-
Bile to the historian with his
myopic eyes, but perceptible to
the telescope vision of the pre-
historian" who employs the
magic lenses of geologic science.
This distance can not be
measured in centuries, those
triAing yardsticks of history, and
we can only say that its span
covers hundreds of thousands Of
years. The great glacial ages
that have in succession swept
over the earth form the swing
ing pendulum that marks the
passage of the aeons with which
we have to deal when we try to
penetrate the mysterious dawn
Of human existence on the earth.
Even the Aurignacians lived far
this side of the dawn. Mans
first distinct separation from his
ape and monkey relatives oc-
Cured probably million years
back of the Aurignacian epoch.
All the vast space of intervening
time was required for the slow
development of his brain and the
birth of his ingenuity.
I refer again to what I have
before briefly told here about the
six great epochs of pre-history.
First was the Chellian epoch,
when men had not yet devel-
oped chins, and when their bee
ting brows and projecting jaws

He vastly improved tho rude
work of his forebears in flint and
bone, but his great claim to ad-
miration rests upon the fact that
he was the first artist. He gave
rein to his imagination. He saw
the world around him with a
comprehending glance, and left
in stone, in bone, in ivory, in
rock carvings and in colored
paintings representations of what
his eyes beheld and of what his
fancy pictured in his brain, and
these representations have lasted
through all the intervening ages
in the shelter of forgotten caves
and under the cover of stalag-
niitic deposits of limestone,
which have formed over them
with infinite slowness and gem
tleness, as if purposely to pre-
serve them for our delight and
instruction.
l would sing the praise of
Aurignaoian man especially be-
cause he recognized the superb
ority of woman as a model for
artistic representation. He had
his Venuses, and he carved theirf
figures in ivory and in stone.
The Venus of Brassempouy," a
statuette in ivory, which gets its
name from the place where it
was found in France, and the
venus of Wiliendorf," a lime
stone statuette found in Ger
many, are not, of course, COM
parable with the marble Greek
Venuses in our museums, but,
with all their archaic rudeness
and simplicity, they show the
dawning genius of true art.
There is a river valley in
southwestern France, the valley
of Where, where great group
of the caverns inhabited by Aur-
ignacian man exists, and Pro-
fessor MacCurdy has said OF II
that it was the Paris of the
antique world" where the arts
flourished to remarkable do
gree.
But just as the age of Periclcs
was succeeded by an era of COM
parative barbarism and war, so
the Aurignacian epoch was fol-
lowed by a period of decline, the
Solutrean epoch, when the arts
were relatively neglected and an
extraordinary development OF
warlike inventions occurred. The
Solutrean arrowhead and spear
point of flint absorbed the in
ventive genius of the new raks
and reached a wonderful stage
of perfection. The Solutreans
were not artistic but practical,
and they redeemed themselves
by the invention of bone needles
with eyeholes for thread.
They were followed by the
men Of the Magdalenian epoch,
who revived the arts of the
Aurignacians and improved
them until they produced in their
cavern homes wall pictures which
exhibit so much play of fancy
and so great a command of rude
technique that, looking upon
them today, we can share the
emotions of those who stood
admiringly before them so long
ago that the reindeer was then

IF I were a poet-and it is
perhaps fortunate for the
reader that have not the gift
of rhyme and meter-I should
certainly try to sing the glories
of the great Aurignacian age,
when primitive man first es-
sayed hrs genius in the produc-
ton of works of art and when
the human imagination began to
trust its wings.
