NATURAL AND PRIMITIVE HISTORY OF MAN ÉMILE CARTAILHAC
"After Altamira all is decadence. We have invented nothing" - Pablo Picasso
Modern techniques date the paintings up to 35,000 years ago,
even older than Marcelino Sautuola imagined.
Dedicated to the memory of D. Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola
and his great-grandson, Emilio Botín-Sanz de Sautuola y Ríos,
who shared his passion for the arts and education,
his curious mind and deep intuition.
In loving memory of Jose Antonio Lasheras for a life dedicated to Altamira.
