Dating the origins of art

A team of archaeologists from Bordeaux travels to South Africa with a specific goal: to date the oldest vestiges of artistic activity in the history of mankind. Surrounded by magnificent African landscapes, travelling from the Atlantic coast to the shores of the Pacific and from the desert to the tropical forest, we will journey through one of the most ancient territories occupied by Homo sapiens as we search to date the oldest representations of symbolic thought.
