De Lage Landen liggen içn de periferie van het verhaal van menswording. De evolutie van onze familie vindt lang exclusief in Afrika plaats. En, als Europa eenmaal bewoond wordt door mensachtigen, ligt het zwaartepunt ten zuiden van onze streken. Toch hebben onze streken een aantal interessante vindplaatsen en vondsten opgeleverd. Ook in Nederland en België hebben de zogenaamde 'oermensen' rondgelopen. Dit boek geeft een toegankelijk overzicht van de tenminste 80000-jaar-durende bewoningsgeschiedenis van Nederland. En het maakt ook meteen korte metten met een aantal stereotypische beelden, zoals het welbekende plaatje van de aap die langzaam rechtop gaat lopen (want zo is het niet gegaan) of het beeld van de moeilijk kijkende neanderthaler in een berenvel die op een besneeuwde berghelling staat. Uitgangspunt van dit boek is wat we nu over neanderthalers weten: intelligente mensen die zich een paar honderdduizend jaar prima hebben weten te redden. Er wordt geput uit de nieuwste theoriën en het geheel is rijk geïllustreerd met vondsten uit binnen-en buitenland. (bron: covertekst)

This book shares timely and thought-provoking methodological and theoretical approaches from perspectives concerning landscape, gender, cognition, neural networks, material culture and ontology in order to comprehend rock art’s role in memorisation processes, collective memory, and the intergenerational circulation of knowledge. The case studies offered here stem from human experiences from around the globe—Africa, Australia, Europe, North and South America—, which reflects the authors’ diverse interpretative stances. While some of the approaches deal with mnemonics, new digital technologies and statistical analysis, others examine performances, sensory engagement, language, and political disputes, giving the reader a comprehensive view of the myriad connections between memory studies and rock art. Indigenous interlocutors participate as collaborators and authors, creating space for Indigenous narratives of memory. These narratives merge with Western versions of past and recent memories in order to construct jointly novel inter-epistemic understandings of images made on rock. Each chapter demonstrates the commitment of rock art studies to strengthen and enrich the field by exploring how communities and cultures across time have perceived and entangled rock images with a broad range of material culture, nonhumans, people, emotions, performances, sounds and narratives. Such relations are pivotal to understanding the universe behind the intersections of memory and rock art and to generating future interdisciplinary collaborative studies.
