People and Prehistory

“It should not, however, be forgotten that one great advantage of a shelter or cave, which I am able to personally vouch for in the rain forest of Ituri, is the degree of socializing and the warmth that brings people together at a fire in a cave. The opportunity of bringing people together in a relatively confined space, besides also giving protection against large predators and human territorial aggression, should not be underestimated…” (J. Desmond Clark 2001: 95; cited in Settlement Dynamics of the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age, Vol II)
