Reminder: Lecture on Wonderwerk Cave

[Geoff]

Wonderwerk Cave and southern African rock art: Once again Origins Centre focuses on the Wonderwerk Cave in the Northern Cape, and the valuable information it has yielded over the years. A talk on rock engravings is presented by Prof Francis

 Thackeray, Director of the Institute for Human Evolution at Wits University. An engraving of a zebra with numerous small incisions on the rump has been interpreted by Thackeray as an animal with "symbolic wounds" in the context of the principle of "sympathetic magic", based in part on ethnography.
