Stone Age

I opened a second window and have
PBS Nova: Absolute Zero playing...

tried to get Late Late Night...but it doesn't seem to be there....

It seems I tried to do this when I first had my laptop...but couldn't do it...dont know how long the networks have been offering up episodes...kinda neat!

These boulders are over where the cave..."one hundred yards from the parking lot" where the spear point was found...there's lots of spaces and caves under the tumbled boulders.

Want to look up the Russian Mammoth bone huts...and just how large the Stone Age population was in Europe and America...brb....here's wiki's list of Time Periods...

quote

Most of this cave art was made deep inside caves, in hard to get to dark areas. It is assumed that because of the locations, these areas were very likely sacred and that the art was inspired by concerns with the supernatural. The majority of the figures are realistic looking herd animals, many of which are shown either wounded or pregnant.
