Publicity

Today we are wondering about the long history by asking ourselves why the feminine part of humanity has been neglected, forgotten, obscured for so long ... Prehistoric man was also a woman, as we remind us, with malice and rightly, in her latest work, our guest, the prehistorian Marylène Patou-Mathis.

This formidable clearer of little-known land who, after having "rehabilitated" Neanderthals, in her latest work endeavors to bring the hunters, artisans and artists of Prehistory, too often confined to a purely domestic role, out of their cave.

With Marylène Patou-Mathis, who publishes 

The Prehistoric Man is Also a Woman,
