Summary

"Cave Hunting" by William Boyd Dawkins is a study of caves and the role they play in our understanding of early human life in Europe. The book looks at caves as important places where we can find clues about the past. It combines history, geology, and biology to paint a picture of ancient peoples, the animals they lived with, and how they survived. The text begins by explaining how exploring caves became a way to learn about the past, detailing the exciting finds of human-made items discovered with the bones of animals that no longer exist, and the goal of the book which is to bring all of this information together. It highlights the exploration of different caves throughout Europe and shows how they help us piece together the story of life long ago.
