This panel of early man art, tells us much of himself. The art found in the cave of Europe are of excellent detail of the wild beast of the time. But do they speak of man, or the viewer.

We view the art of James Audubon with great delight, the world of birds flows before us. Do we have questions of the Carrier Pigeons, the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, or any number of birds, now extinct, Audubon has preserved them in his illustrations, as an illustrator?

But does his art of the birds, tell us much of the man that destroyed them? Do these fine bits of art, tell us of the man with the brush? The wall of the Texas Shelters do. Man wants us, the future, to know him.

Could this difference between man of 2,000,000 BP., or even man of 30,000 BP., and man of the Texas shelter, be the difference between man and man human.

There needs to be some feature of man that tells us of his link with the creature he had been. More to the point, what it was that snapped that link.

It is hoped the visitor will ask this question, and wish to find an answer. Here at the museum we offer several papers in our library, facts and reasoning, that may offer a solution.
