Women in Prehistory

Post by Beagle »

http://johnhawks.net/weblog/reviews/arc ... _2007.html
James Adovasio, Olga Soffer and Jake Page have a new book entitled, The Invisible Sex: Uncovering the True Roles of Women in Prehistory. The authors are well-known for their work in both New World and Old World archaeology. In particular, the joint work by Adovasio and Soffer has uncovered evidence for the earliest fabrics and fiber technology, and has led to new interpretations for the famous "Venus" figurines from the European Upper Paleolithic.

Doesn't seem to be available here yet, if any body gets hold of a copy perhaps they could give us some insights on the subject.

I thought I posted a review of this book a couple of weeks ago?
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
