Description: ""The Childhood of Art or The Ascent of Man"" is a two-volume book that explores the evolution of human artistic expression throughout prehistoric times. Written by Herbert Green Spearing, the book delves into the vicissitudes of human progress and the struggles that humanity faced in its upward climb towards civilization. The second volume of the book is a sketch of the relics of artistic work left behind by prehistoric humans, which forms the basis of the author's analysis. Spearing examines the various forms of art that prehistoric humans created, including cave paintings, sculptures, and other artifacts, and explores the cultural and social contexts in which these works were produced. Through his analysis, Spearing offers a fascinating glimpse into the early stages of human art and the complex cultural and social forces that shaped its development.
