EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical scene, a group of intrepid hunters boldly approach the entrance of a cave, weapons at the ready, as they prepare to attack a family of cave-bears. Dating back to circa 5000 BC, this image offers a glimpse into the early days of human civilization, a time when mankind was still learning to harness the power of fire and tools to survive in the harsh, unforgiving wilderness. The hunters, dressed in the furs and hides of their prey, are determined to take over the cave and claim it as their own. The cave-bear family, caught unawares, are shown in a state of defensive panic, with the mother bear protecting her cubs while the father bear stands his ground, ready to defend his home and family. This powerful and evocative image, captured by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating insight into the social history of prehistoric man. It highlights the importance of community and the need for protection and shelter, as well as the ruthless instinct for survival that drove our ancestors to hunt and conquer their environment. The attack on the cave-bear family also underscores the complex relationship between man and beast during this period. While cave-bears were a formidable threat to early human communities, they were also a valuable source of food and resources. As such, the hunters in this scene are not only seeking to defend their own lives, but also to secure the future of their tribe by providing them with much-needed sustenance. Overall, this image is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our ancestors, and a reminder of the rich and complex history that lies hidden in the depths of the earth. It is a scene that continues to fascinate and inspire us, offering a glimpse into the past that is both historical and deeply human.
