• Resumen

  • Kemp talks about the ice age. Scattered across the south-west of Europe are approximately 350 caves decorated with vivid Paleolithic art. A handful of lesser-known ones also contain something just as spectacular: ice-age human footprints, preserved by a thin crust of calcite. The caves are like windows on life during the last ice age. But only to those who can read what was left behind. Seventeen-thousand years ago, southern France was a cold, treeless landscape sparsely populated by seminomadic people.
