The Cradle of Humanity: Prehistoric Art and Culture collects essays and lectures by Georges Bataille spanning thirty years of research in anthropology, comparative religion, aesthetics, and philosophy.

Bataille’s reflections on the possible origins of humanity coincide with the intensified threat of its possible extinction. | |||
