Venus Figurines There are plenty of so-called Venus figurines. My Suebian ancestoress seems to be the oldest (and ugliest) of the bunch Just for the hell of it, here is a gallery of stone-age beauties. The ceramic one mentioned in the text is here. Here is a little table of what's around (partially adopted from Wikipedia). There are several more Venus figurines around, however, and many are probably patiently waiting for that good-looking archeologist to dig them out.

Silo - 2004 Paleolithic 3 Million + 10,000 BCE The term Paleolithic refers to the « Old Stone Age » The Paleolithic period begins with the first evidence of human technology (stone tools) more than three million years ago, and ends with major changes in human societies instigated by the invention of agriculture and animal domestication.

Survey of Paleoanthropological Discoveries in German-Speaking Nations
Anderson 1 Dylan Anderson Carol Pannocione German 30 September 2019 Behold, der Mann: Survey of Paleoanthropological Discoveries in German-Speaking Nations 1. Introduction The German world, with its turbulent and important history from almost 600,000 years ago to this day, is immensely important to the study of humankind; from then and now. Fossils allow us a glimpse at the early inhabitants of Europe and Germany; tools allow us to see how our ancestors would have survived; and art allows us to see the symbolic capabilities of our ancestors. 2. Fossils and Tools Understanding and researching human prehistory is difficult due to the sheer volume of information. Moreover, there are few tools to examine said prehistory, with dental, isotopic, and mitochondrial analysis being some of the more recent tools. Early tools to examine prehistory would have been fossil analysis, stratigraphy, and comparative anatomy. 2.1. Neandertal 1 Neandertal 1 are a set of bones belonging to an extinct species of hominins now known as Homo sapiens neandertalensis. This was not the first Neandertal found, nor the first Neandertal discovered in the German world, but it was the first fossil to be named as Neandertal. After being discovered in 1856, the fossil was promptly given to local German teacher and naturalist Johann Carl Fuhlrott. Fuhlrott, along with German anatomist Hermann Schaaffhausen, published a joint Anderson 2 paper in 1857 in a German society for natural history posited that the skull belonged to a new species related to humans (Schaaffhausen, 1857). Their views were the subject of intense scholarly debate. At the time, the biological sciences were dominated by German cellular biologist Rudolf Virchow, who despised the theory of evolution and claimed Neandertal 1 was a human with a serious deformation (Glick, 1988).

temporary This Temporary Course Packet will only get you through the first week or two of class. Buy the regular Course Packet in the bookstore as soon as possible! history of art I temporary course packet introduction This temporary History of Art I Course Packet (Fifth Edition) was researched and produced by Professor Mark Hudelson at Palomar College in San Marcos, California (©2012). It is intended as a supplement to Adams’ Art Across Time, Volume I (Fourth Edition). Please purchase the COMPLETE course packet in the bookstore as soon as you can. In this temporary course packet, there are four types of materials: chapter guides, study guides, video guides and test guides. Chapter guides parallel the chapters in Adams. In class, when your instructor shows you a work of art listed in a chapter guide, put a check mark by it. Now you have all of the facts about that work (its correct spelling for artist and title, its size, its material, etc.) and you can focus your note taking on the lecture. This also saves your instructor from having to write everything on the board. Study guides summarize major art concepts or periods. Your instructor may have you fill a study guide out in class or you may be assigned to fill in the answers as homework. The answers to the study guides are on my website: http://www2.palomar.edu/users/mhudelson/ From my homepage, click on “Art 165” and then on “study guides.” Video guides correspond to videos you may see in class. Just answer the questions in the video guide as those points are addressed in the video.
