Abstract

The “cave man” is one of the topics that exist nowadays in our colective ideology. It asume that the cave was the exclusive habitat site of the harvester-hunters groups of the paleolithic time. This article is approached in order to look up the origin and consolidation of this myth to, through the archaelogical evidence, submit it to a critical judgement which deny that idea.
