Hunting became the main basis for prehistoric men. The group's survival depends on this activity. Our ancestors reflected this fact in countless images on cave and shelters walls. Men draw their animals in all their natural environments and tries to describe all their moves and habits: images show these animals grazing, walking in group or individually, copulating, gesticulating to produce sounds, etcetera. It is a real dictionary of zoological images. Nonetheless, the most amazing part is the one where pictures on the wall become a hunting handbook, and the prehistoric artist introduces the hunter in the scene, who goes on the preys' trails, executes them one by one or in group, fights to get his pieces against other groups or tribes, animals lie hurt or dead covered by arrows and spears.-amazingly real dramatic images-

through hunting, prehistoric man creates a habit of rituals and customs. Verdejo
