EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a poignant moment in prehistory, as animals and early humans huddle together on the precipice of survival during the great deluge, commonly known as the biblical Flood. The date of this scene is estimated to be around Before Common Era (BCE), a time when the world was still in the midst of the Pleistocene epoch, an era marked by the existence of large, now extinct, fauna such as mammoths and bears. The animals, represented by an elephant, a rhinoceros, a saber-toothed tiger, and a woolly mammoth, are shown in a state of desperate urgency, seeking refuge from the encroaching waters. Their expressions convey a sense of fear and uncertainty, reflecting the gravity of the situation. Among them stands a figure, believed to be an early representative of Homo sapiens, the only species known to have survived the cataclysmic event. With outstretched arms, the human figure reaches out to the animals, offering a sense of comfort and reassurance. This act of compassion and unity between man and beast is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of both species in the face of adversity. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of all life forms, and the role that chance events, such as natural disasters, play in shaping the planet's biosphere. It also highlights the ongoing process of evolution, as humans and animals continue to adapt and coexist in a world that is ever-changing. Despite the sense of urgency and peril in the scene, there is a sense of hope and renewal that permeates the image, as the survivors look towards the future, ready to rebuild and start anew.
