Background
A description of the experience
Jacquetta Hawkes – A Land – And so to apes and men
………..And so to apes and men. A long-drawn effort to correlate hand and eye and brain in non-instinctive movement, a complication of emotion tending towards refinements of love and hate; a widening separation of the self from its surroundings.
Then, suddenly, the bison painted on the cave wall. What has happened since then but 50,000 years of the accumulation of experience and an erratic but pitiless sharpening of thought and feeling?
