These acted as substitutes for external reality that could not be perceived when Palaeolithic people entered thei…

On Architecture, the Plastic Arts and the Cultural Evolution of Man
Man’s specific nature may be defined as an attempt to gain autonomy from environmental influences by means of inhibiting responses. The inhibitory mechanisms employed perform also steering functions. In stress situations, behavior based on inhibition takes the form of flight—according to Cannon’s hypotheses. Natural caves offered man a passive way to escape from existential stress. For the primitive nervous system, cave-dwelling would represent s…
