I've seen this sort of thing happen in other places-certain posters start over indulging themselves, others take offense, disagreements (some of them rather nasty) ensue and the critical mass is reduced as sensitive souls migrate elsewhere.Donna wrote:So, where has everyone gone?

Anyone have any insight into cave paintings in Africa or North Africa? Do they exist prior to the period given above? Are there any similarities?Jean M. Auel, bestselling author of Clan of the Cave Bear and The Shelters of Stone: Earth's Children, says, "The cave paintings of France and Spain, which date from 35,000 to 10,000 years ago, have posed an intriguing enigma since they were first recognized. Experts have debated, and ordinary people have wondered, why they were painted and what they might mean. David Whitley's take is one of the more original interpretations, and certainly an interesting one. And the man can write. His descriptions of the sites and the art in the caves are captivating and poetic."
