| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Secrets of Earth and Sea" by Sir Ray Lankester is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work is a compilation of essays and articles that explore various natural phenomena and prehistoric findings, with a specific focus on the evolution of life and the artistry of early humans. It delves into topics such as prehistoric art, the development of species, and geological events, appealing to readers interested in natural history and science. The opening of the book introduces readers to the earliest known picture in the world, carved on the antler of a red deer, discovered in the cavern of Lortet in France. Lankester discusses the significance of these engravings, which are dated to the Elapho-Tarandian period, and reflects on the artistry of prehistoric humans, asserting that they were far from primitive. He elaborates on the cultural and artistic heritage of various prehistoric races, setting the stage for a discussion on the evolution of humanity and the knowledge we can glean from studying these ancient artifacts. This beginning establishes a foundation for exploring themes of evolution and the interconnectedness of nature and human creativity throughout the following chapters.
