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. --
