Maybe you can ask these questions:

A. Can they show a typology of images caused by glacial periods or other natural influences, like rivers, running elephants and bizons, fire etc. etc. Can they show animal-portraits or symbolic stones made by nature and also in typological rows.

B. Why are museums in many countries showing artefacts made on débrises (cleavages which are caused by frost) and on tabular stones? Why do they approve this and exclude those ones we show?

C. Why are in good sites the elephants, birds, portraits, fertility-symbols separated from each other and why weren't they muddled up during the glacial periods (Ron's Hawk-site for instance)? Is nature that selective?

D. If nature provided the beginning of, for instance, a portrait or even a tool, did the Clacton-people see it? Why do those know-alls assume 1. they didn't see it; 2. they were too stupid to see it; 3. left it by chance? For if they saw it, it only needed a few actions to complete it. (Use the handaxe (attached) as an example and don't mention my name for that's not relevant. It is acknowledged as a handaxe and 200.000 BC). This Stringer himself was sitting at the beach and saw a stone with 2 holes as eyes. Can't he put himself in a person of that time, acting logically and say to himself: "I can make a perfect portrait out of it, for it's almost finished." ?
In Makapansgat they found in the cave a portrait (older than 1 million years), of which the profs assumed it was made by nature (river) but seen by those people and brought in to the cave. So here they assume they did see it!!

E. How do they think about Berkhat Ram (Golan) and the Tan Tan from Morrocco? (I would like to know it myself how they think about it.) What do they think about Walther Matthes? Is he a fool?

F. Why do they cal tools after natural shapes, like leaf-point, mistletoe-point, horse-shoe, bores with the word "beak" in it, some handaxes called "cats-tongues", snout-bores, "mother-stone" (nucleus) (but this is more symbolic, so they even use symbolism). And tools with other natural shapes of which I don't know the name in English.

Jan.
