ANIMALS AND HUMANS
In symbiosis with their environment, prehistoric men and women lived from and in nature. Their relationship with animals occupied a central place.
Thus, just as animals are present at all levels of social and spiritual life in many contemporary traditional societies, everything suggests that the same was true of our ancestors. Moreover, if in prehistoric times, animals were at the heart of a subsistence economy, both food and materials, they were also the main subject of Homo sapiens' artistic productions.
While many Paleolithic animals survived in our regions (deer, wild boar) or migrated north (reindeer) fleeing rising temperatures at the end of the last Ice Age, other species disappeared completely.
Discover a fragment of Paleolithic fauna and immortalize yourself with emblematic animals of the period: the woolly mammoth and the now extinct saber-toothed tigers.
