Editorial Reviews

Review
The life and death of the vanished cave bear is probed in a fine survey of its evolution, probable habits, and existence. This considers the bear's environment and other mammals, and its probable lifestyle as drawn from teeth and bone fossils and early cave drawings: remarkably detailed considering the scarcity of primary source materials. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
Complete with brilliant illustrations, this book conveys the astonishing facts about the largest of bears, including the structure, habits, and society of cave bears, their Ice Age environment, sexual and racial variations, and extinction. Kurtén also details the relationship between man and bear-namely the theories surrounding bear-hunting and cave bear cults. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
