The smallest of the three huts had been equipped with a fireplace in its centre. It appeared to be an oven in the shape of a beehive. It was an oast oven and one of the first for baking clay ever to be found. The Cro-Magnon man had learnt to control fire well. This can be inferred from a series of shallow grooves which had been made in the bottom of the fireplace. Their function was to improve the air supply and in this way higher temperatures could be reached. All around the oven thousands of little clay balls were found, as were fragments of the heads of bears and foxes, but also of the statue,... 

The use of paint dates to prehistoric art, mainly about 35,000 years ago, when the long-skull Cro-Magnon people of the Paleolithic period made cave paintings. They were restricted to only a few pigments of local colors—earth tones of yellow, red, black, brown, and white—derived from plants, animals, and minerals and mixed with animal fat to make the first paints. These paints required a binder to adhere them to cave walls Chemists think that Cro-Magnon artists used saliva Today, artists are attempting to duplicate the paints used in these cave paintings.

Then about forty thousand years ago the modem successor of Homo Sapien emerged from the Rift Valley in Africa. He is Homo Sapien (Sapien) and was very robust. Homo Sapien (Sapien) rapidly spread to West Africa as Bantus and to Europe as Cro-Magnon Man.

When asked, Where has colloidal silica been used Charles C. Payne answers that a more pertinent question is, Where hasn t it been used (Chapter 54). This question applies also to silica in general. From the caves of Cro-Magnon and Altamira, where flint was used to make early tools and weapons, to Silicon Valley, where colloidal silica is used to polish sophisticated microcircuit parts, and to outer space, where silica has been used to help in the safe reentry of space vehicles, silica has played a role in the development of Western, and for that matter, world civilization. 

Acoustics ai uably originated with human communication and music. The caves in which the prehistoric Cro-Magnons displayed their most elaborate paintings have resonances easily excited by the human voice, and stalactites emit musical tones when struck or rubbed with a stick. Paleolithic societies constructed flutes of bird bone, used animal horns to produce drones, and employed ratdes and scrapers to provide rhythm. 

In our example game, a time-travel mishap delivers you to the time of Cro-Magnons, who fight off Wooly Mammoths and other hominids whoVe got their own ideas about being progenitors to man. 

Initially, the game sets up situations that would lead you to think that these Cro-Magnons are fairly dumb and shallow. But then, as you get to know them as a group and as individuals, you discover that certain aspects of their culture give them depth.
