But there is another feature Of these
discoveries which is even more signifI-
cant Of the mental state OF the paIeo-
hthlc men who dwelt in the caverns
OF the Pyrenees, and gives US a strange
feeling of relationship to them since
II indicates that the workings OF the
human imagination have not varied
much through all the intervening ages.
This will be shown by the following
quotation from Prof. MacCurdy's sum
There are also anthropOmorphic
(manlike) figures, including a curious
female type drawn in black. It seems
to be walking almost on all Tours,
with the head surmounted by a REIN
deer horn. II might represent a human
figure wearing a mask, or perhaps a
ugure with mixed attributes; il the
latter, then we have a new note in
paleoltthic art. for until now that art
has revealed no representations OF
Hydrologic creatures"
Taken together with the engravings
and paintings previously discovered IN
Spanish sides Of the Pyrenees, these
new discoveries give a vivid picture Of
the conditions Of human life before
men had learned
"To hew the shaft and lay the arch
itrave
And spread the roof above them"
They were close to the glacial ages
then, perhaps they were involved in
the latest. and yet they have left pic
lures in their gloomy caverns which
show that even then men and women
could laugh and dance and admire
beauty and find much joy in life.
