Listen to part of a lecture in an environmental science class.

Now we've been talking about the laws[loss] of animals habitat from housing developments, Umm, growing cities, small habitat losses, but today I wanna begin talking about what happens when habitat is reduced across a large area. There are of course animal species that require large areas of habitat, and some migrate over very long distances. So what's the impact of habitat loss on those animals, animals that need large areas of habitat?
Well, I'll use the humming birds as an example. Now you know a humming bird is amazingly small, but even though it's really tiny, it migrates over very long distances, travels up and down the western hamesphere, the america's, back and forth between where breeze[it breeds] in the summer and the warmer climates where it spends the winter.
So we would say that this whole area over which it migrates is its habitat, because on this long distance journey, it needs to come down to feed and sleep every so often, right? Well, the humming bird's beats of swing[bird beats its wings], get this, about three thousand times per minute, so you'll think "Wow, it must need a lot of energy and a lot of food", right? Well, it does, it drinks a lot of nector[nectar花蜜] from flowers and feeds on some insects, but it's energy-efficient, too, you can't say it isn't, I mean as it flys all the way across the gulf of Mexco, it uses up almost none of its body fat. But that doesn't mean it doesn't need to eat. So humming birds have to rely on plants in their natural habitat, and it goes without saying, but, well, the opposite is true as well, plants depend on humming birds, too. There are some flowers that can only be polenated[pollenated] by the humming bird, without it stopping to feed and spreading polen[pollen花粉] from flower to flower, these plants would seeze[cease停止] to exist. But the problem, well, as natural habitat along these migration routes is developed by humans for housing or agriculture or cleared for raising cattle, for instance, there is less food available for migrating humming birds, there nesting sites are affected, too, the same... by the same sorts of human activities, and all of these activities pose of[a] real threat to the humming bird population.
So, to help them survive, we need to preserve their habitat, and one of the concrete ways people have been doing this is by cleaning up poluted[polluted] habitat areas, and then replanting flower, replanting native flowers that humming birds feed on. Promoting ecological tourism is another way to help save their habitat, as the number of visitors-ecotours[eco-tourists], who come to humming birds habitat to watch the birds, the more the number of visitors grows, the more local business profit, so ecological tourism can bring financial rewards, all them[the] more reason to value these beautiful creatures and[on] their habitat, right? But to understand more about how to protect and suport humming birds the best we can, we've gotta learn more about their breeding, nesting sites and migration route, and also about the natural habitats we find there, that just help us determine how to prevent for the[further] decline of the population.
A good research method, a good way to learn more is by, Umm, running a banding study. Banding the birds allows us to track them over their life time, it's a practise's[practice that's] been used by researchers for years. In fact most of what we know[we've known] about hmming birds comes from banding studies, where we capture a humming bird, and make sure all the information about it, like its weight, and age and length, are all recorded, put into international information database, and then we place an extremely light weight band arond one of its legs, well, what looks like a leg, although techniquely it's considered part of the bird's foot, anyway, these bands are perfectly safe, and some humming birds have worn them for years, with no evidence of any problems. The band is labled with a tracking number. Oh and, there is a phone number on the band for people to call, for free. To report a banded bird they found or recapture[recaptured]. So when a banded bird is recaptured and reported, we learn about its migration route, its growth, and how long it's been alive, its life spend[lifespan]. One recapured bird is[was] banded almost twelve years earlier, she is one of the oldest humming birds on record. Another interesting thing we've learnt is that some humming birds Umm, they no longer use a certain route, they travel by a different route to reach their destination, and findings like these have been of interest to biologists and environmental scientists in a number of countries, who are trying to understand the complexities of how changes in a habitat, affect the species in it, species like the humming birds.

Excuse me, I am supposed to be having my physics class in the science building, but no one’s in the classroom. Could you tell me where the class is? Physics 403---has it been moved?
Well, there’s a room assignment sheet on the bulletin board outside this office.
Yeah, I know, but my class isn’t listed there. There must be some kind of mistake or something. Could you look it up, please?
Hmmm....ok, let me check on the computer. It’s physics, right? Wait, did you say physics 403?
Yeah.
Er...I’m sorry, but it says here that it was cancelled. You should have got note letter from the registrar’s office about this.
What? I’ve never got it.
Are you sure? ‘Cause it says on the computer that the letter was sent out to students a week ago.
Really? I should have got it by now. I wonder if I threw it away with all the junk mail by mistake.
Well, it does happen. Er...let me check something. What’s your name?
Woodhouse, Laura Woodhouse.
Ok, hmmm...Woodhouse, let me see...ah, it says here we sent it to your apartment on er...Center Street.
Oh, that’s my old apartment. I moved out of there a little while ago.
Well, and I suppse you haven’t changed your mailing address at the adminisration office. Well that would explain it.
Yeah, I guess that’s it. But how can they cancel the class after offering it. If I’d known this was going to happen, I would have taken it last semester.
I know, it’s really inconvenient for you, I understand that, but er... if we don’t have enough students sign up for the course, the college can’t offer it. You know, it’s a practical issue, like we can’t have an instructor whem there’re only a few students in the class. You see what I mean?
I guess, but now I don’t know what course I should take instesd.
Ok, let’s see. Do you have any courses you’re going to take next semester? If you do, you might want to take them now and sign up for physics 403 next semester.
Yeah, I guess I could do that. I just hope it won’t be cancelled again. Do you know how many people have to be enrolled in order to keep a class fron being cancelled?
Well, it depends on the class, but fot that class, you have to have er...let’s see, usually it’d be at least ten people, but since it was cancelled this semester, they might even do it with less. But do you know what you should do? Give the physics department a call al couple of weeks before the semester starts. They’ll be able to tell you if they’re planning to go through with it. It’s their decision, actually.
Oh, ok, I will do that. Thanks for the infor.
No problem. Sorry about the class. Oh, when are you to go change a mail address now. It lonely takes a minute.
Oh, oh, sure, I will do that right way.

People walked around on the roofs, and entered the house through a hatchway on the roof, down a wooden ladder. You can still see the diagonal marks of ladders in the plaster on the inside walls. Once you were in the house, there would be one main room and a couple of small rooms for storage. The main room had the hearths for cooking and for heat. It would be pretty cold during the winters. And it also looks like they made their tools near the fire. There tends to be a lot of obsidian flacks and chips in the hearth ashes. But no chimney, the smokes go out the same hatchway that people used for going in and out themselves. So there wouldn't be an open fire inside the house with only one hole in the roof to let the smoke out. You and I would’ve found it bit too smoky in there. You can see under walls with the plaster and decorated with paintings—they ended up with a layer of black soot on them, and so did people's lungs. The bones found in the graves show a layer of soot on the inside of the ribs.

And there's another unusual feature of catalhoyuk--the burial sites. The graves have all been found under the houses, right down the floors. And it may be this burial custom that explains why the houses were packed in so tightly without streets. I mean, you might think it was for protection or something, but there's been no evidence found yet of any violent attack that would indicate that kind of danger. ///
7:14-7:50-7:54, 8:25-8:34-8:46
It maybe they wanted to live as near as possible to the ancestors’ graves and be buried near them themselves. But it makes good point.

Based on the excavations, we can know the layout of the houses and location of the graves, but we’re only guessing when we tried to say why they did it that way. That’s the way it is with archeology. You’re dealing with the physical remains the people left behind. We have no sure access to what they thought and how they felt about things. I mean, it’s interesting to speculate, and the physical artifacts can give us clues, but there’s a lot we can’t really know. So, for instance, their art--they painted on the plastered walls and usually they painted the hunting scenes with wild animals in them. Now they did hunt and they also raised cereal crops and kept sheep. But we don’t know why so many of the paintings are hunting scenes. Was it supposed to have a religious or magical significance? That’s the kind of thing we can only guess at, based on clues. And hopefully, further excavation of catalhoyuk will yield more clues. But we’ll probably never know for sure.

Now we’ve been talking about the lost(loss of) animal habitate(habitat) from housing developments. Hum...growing cities, small habitat losses. But today I want to(wanna) begin talking about what happens when habitat is reducesed(reduced) across a large area. There are, of course, animals species that require large areas habitat, and some migrated(migrate over) very long distances. So what’s the impact habitat lost on those animals--animals that need large areas of habitat?

Well, I’ll use the humming birds as an example. Now you know a humming bird is amazingly small, but even know(though) it’s really tiny, it migrates over very long distances, travels up and down the western hemisphere—the Americas, back and force between where it
breeze(breeds) in the summer and the warmer climates where it is spent in the winter.
So we(you) would say that the whole area of(over) which it migrates is its habitat, because on this long distance journey, it needs to come down to feed and sleep very so often, right? Well , the bird beat its swings(wings)--get this--about 3 thousands times per minute. So you think, wow, it must need a lot of energy, and a lot of food, right?

Well , it dose. It drinks a lot of nectar from flowers and feeds on some insects, but its energy affition(efficient) too. You can(can’t) say it isn’t. I mean, as it flies all the way cross the Mexico Gulf, it uses almost(up) none of its body fat. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to eat. So humming birds have to rely on plants in(on) their natural habitat.

And it goes without saying, but the opposit truths(opposite is true) as well—Plants depend on humming birds, too. There are some flowers that can only be pollinated by humming birds. Without it stopping to feed and spreading powlen(spread pollen) from flower to flower, this plants would seeds(cease) to exist.

But the problem, well, as natural habitat along this(these) migration rutes(routes) is developed by humans for housing or agriculture or clear(cleared) for raising cattle, for instance, there is less food available for migrating humming birds. There nest(Their nesting sites are affected too), the same by the same sorts of human activities. And all of these activities pose a real threat to the humming bird population. So to help them survive, we need to preserve their habitats. And one of the conque(concrete) ways people have been doing this is by cleaning up poluted(polluted) habitat areas and then replanting flowers, hum, replanting native flowers that humming birds feed on.

Promoting ecological tourism with(is) another ways(way to) help save their habitat. As the number of visitors, eco-toures(eco-tourists) who come to humming birds habitats to watch to the birds. The more the number of the visitors grows, the more local businesses(businesses’) profit, So ecological tourism can bring financial rewards, all the more reason to value this beautiful little creature than the(on their) habitat, right?

But to understand more about how to protect them and(to) support humming birds the best we can, we get to(have got to) learn about their breeding, nesting sites and migration routes and also about the natural habitats we find there. That to(just) help us to determine how the(to) prevent for the(further) decline in the(their) population.

A good research method, is a good way to learn more, is by running a banding study. banding the birds allows us to track them over their lifetime. It’s been a practice that’s been used by research(researchers) for years. In fact, most of what we know(have known) about humming bird comes for banding studies, where we capture a humming bird and make sure all the information about it, like its way(weight) and ageny(age) and links(length) are all our recorded put it into an international information database.

And then we place it(aN) extremely like we (lightweight) band on one of its legs, well , what looks like a leg, also(although) technically considered part of birds’ foot. Anyway, this is(these bands are) perfectly safe, and some humming birds have worn them for years with no accidence of
any problems. The band is labled(labeled) with tracking number. Oh , and there is a phone number on the band for people to call for free to report a banded bird they(to be) found or recaptured.

So when a banded bird was recaptured and reported, we learned about the(its) migration route, its growth and how long it’s(it has) been alive, it’s lifespan. One recaptured bird was banded was(almost) 12 years earlier. It’s(She was ) one of the oldest humming birds on record. Another interesting thing we’ve learned is that some humming birds they no longer use a certain route. They travel by a different route to reach their destination.

And findings like this have been of interested to biologist and enviromental(environmental) scientists in a number of countries who are trying to understand the complexities of how changes in a habitat a fact(affact) the species in it.

怎么好像越来越难的样子～～呃

Listen to part of a lecture in a film history class.

Ok, we've been discussing film
in the 1920's and 30', and how back then film catigories as we know them today had not yet been established. We said that by today's standards, many of the films of the 20's and 30's would be considered hybrates[hybrids合成物], that is a mixure[mixture] of styles that whouldn't exactly fit into any of today's catigories. And in that context, today we're going to talk about a film maker who began making very unique films in the late 1920's. He was Franch, and his name was JP.

JP was borned[born，呃] in 1902. He made his first film in 1928. Now, in a way, P's films conform to norms of the 20's and 30's, that is they don't fit very neatly into the catigories we use to classify films today. That's said, even by the standards of the 20's and 30's, P's films were unique, hybrate［hibrid of］ styles. He had a special way of fusing, or some people might say confusing, science and fiction. His films begin with fact[facts], but then they become more and more fictional. They gradually add more and more fictional elements. In fact, P was known for saying that science is fiction.

P was a pioneer in underwater film making, and a lot of these short films focus on the aquatic animal work[world]. He liked to show small underwater creatures, displaying what seemed like familiar human carictoristics, what we think of as unique to humans. He might take a clip of a mallus[mollusk] going up and down the waters and set it to music, you know to make it look as if the mallus[mollusk] were dancing to the music
like a human being, that sort of thing. But then, he suddenly changed the image showing diration[narration 叙事] to remind us how different the animals are, how unlike humans. He confuses[confused] his audience in the way he portrait[portrayed描绘] the animals he filmed, mixing up our notions of the categories, human and animal. The films make us a little uncomfortable at times, because we are uncertain about what we are seeing. It gives us his films in[an] uncanny feature, the familiar made unfamiliar, the normal made suspicious. He liked twists, he liked the unusual. In fact one of his favorate sea animals was the seahorse, because with seahorses, it's the male that carries the eggs, and he thought that was great, his first and most celebrated underwater film is about the seahorse. Susan, you have a question?

But underwater film-making wasn't that unusual, was it? I mean weren't there other people making movies underwater?

Well, actually it was pretty rare at that time, I mean we are talking about the early 1930's here.

But what about JC? Wasn't he like an inervator, you know with underwater photography too?

Ah, JC. Well, P and C did both film underwater, and they were both inervators, so you you know[so you are right in]
that sense, but that's pretty much where the similarities end. First of all, P was about 20 years ahead of C, and C's adventures were high-tech with lots of fancy equipment, whereas P kind of patched equipment together as he needed it. Ah, C used to film[usually filmed] large animals, usually in the open sea, whereas P generally film smaller animals, and he likes[liked] to film in shallow water. Ah, what else? Oh well, the main difference was that C simplly investigated and presented fact[the facts-] he didn't make scene[mix in] fiction, he was a strict documentary[documentarist], he set the standard, really, for the nature documentary. P on the other hand, as we said before, mix in elements of fiction, and his films are much more artistic in cooperating[incorporating] music as an important element. John, you have a question?

Well, maybe I shouldn't be asking this, but if P's films are so special, so good, why havn't we ever heard of them? I mean everyone's heard of JC.

Well, that's a fair question. Ah, the short answer is, that P's style just never caught on with the general public, I mean it probably goes back at least in part to what we mentioned earlier that people didn't know what to make of his films, that they were confused by them. Whereas C's documentaries were very straightforward, met people's expectations more than P's films did, but your true film history bows[above's?????????] know about him and P's still highly respected in many circles.

Professor
OK. we’ve been discussing film in the 1920s and 30s,and how back then film categories, as we known today, had not (yet)been established. we set(said that) by today’s standards, many films of the 20s and 30s will(would) be considered as high(hybrids).that is, a mixture style when exact fitting into any of today’s categories, and in that context.
Today we are going to talk about a film-maker who began making very unique films in the late 1920s.He was French, and his name was Jean Painleve.
Jean Painleve was born on 1902. He made his first film in 1928. Now in a way, Painleve’s film conforms to norms in 20s and 30s, that is, they don’t fit very neatly into the categories we use to classify films today. That(’s) said, even by the standards of 20s and 30s, Painleve’s film were unique, a hybrid styles. He had a special way(of fusing), or some people (might) say come fusing(confusing),science and fiction.
His film begin with facts, but then they become more and more fictional. They gradually add more and more fictional elements. In fact, Painleve was no(known) for saying that science is fiction.
Painleve was a pioneer in underwater film-making, and a lot of his short films focused on the aquatic animal world. He liked to show small underwater creatures, displaying what seemed like familiar human characteristics-what we think of unique to humans.
He might take a clip of (mollusk)going up and down in the water and set it to music. You know, to make it look the mollusk were dancing in(to) the music like a human being-that sort of thing. But then he suddenly changed the image or narration to remind us how different the animals are, how unlike humans. He confused his audience in the way he portrayed the animals he filmed, mixing up on notions of the categories of humans and animals.
The films make us a little uncomfortable at times because we are (uncertain) about what we are seeing. It gives him films an (uncanny)feature: the familiar made unfamiliar, the normal made suspicious. He like twists, he liked the usual. In fact, one of his favorite sea animals was the seahorse because with seahorses, it’s the male that carries the eggs, and he thought that was great. His first and most celebrated underwater film is about the seahorse.
Susan, you have a question?
Susan
But underwater film-making wasn’t that unusual, was it? I mean, weren’t there other people making movies underwater?
Professor
Well, actually, it was pretty well(rare) at that time. I mean, we are talking about the early 1920s.
Susan
But what about Jacques Cousteau? Was he like an innovator, you know, with underwater photography too?
Professor
Ah, Jacques Cousteau. Well, Painleve and Cousteau did both film underwater, and they were both innovators, so you are right in that sense. But that’s pretty much where the similarities were high-tech, with lots of fancy equipment, whereas Painleve kind of patched the equipment together as he needed it.
Cousteau usually filmed large animals, usually in the open sea, whereas Painleve generally filmed smaller animals, and he liked to film in shallow water. Uh, what else, oh well, the mail difference was that Cousteau simply investigated and presented the facts- he didn’t mix in fiction. He was a strict docunentarist. He set the standard really for the nature documentary. Painleve, on the other hand, as we said before, mixed in elements of fiction. And his films are much more artistic, incorporating music as an important element.
John, you have a question?
John
Well, maybe I shouldn’t be asking this, but if Painleve’s film are so special, so good, why haven’t we ever heard them? I mean, everyone’s heard of Jacques Cousteau.
Professor
    Well, that’s a fair question. Uh, the short answer is that Painleve’s style just never caught on with the public. I mean, it probably goes back at least in part to where we mentioned earlier, that people didn’t know what to make of his films- they were confused by them, whereas Cousteau’s documentaries were very straightforward, met people’s expectations more than Painleve’s films did. But you are true:film history is about what we know about them. And Painleve is still highly respected in many circles.

listen to the part of the lecture in the environment class.

now, we have been talking about lots the loss of animal habitat from housing developments ,growing cities -small habitat losses. But, today I wanna begin talking about what happens when habitat is reduced across a large area. There are, of course, animals species that require large areas of (is) habitat and some migrate over is very long distances. So what's the impact of habitat loss on those animals -animals that need large (loge)areas of habitat.

Well, I’ll use the humming birds as an example. Now, you know a humming bird is amazingly small, but even though it's really tiny, it migrates over a very long distance, travels up and down the western hemisphere- the Americas, back and forth between where it breeds in the summer and the warmer climates where it’s spent the winter.

So, you would say that this whole area over which is migrates is its habitat. Because on these long-distance journey, it needs to come down to feed and sleep every thing so often, right? Well,
the humming bird beats so winster its wings，-get this- about 3000 times per minute. So yon think ,wow, it must be need a lot of energe, a lot of food, right?

Well, it does. It drinks a lot of nectar from flowers and feeds on some insects, but its energy efficient too. You can’t say it isn’t, i mean, as is flies all the way across the Mexico, it uses up none of its body fat. But that doesn't mean it is doesn’t need to eat. So,
how humming birds have to rely on plates in their natural habitat.

And it goes without of the thing saying, but the opposite is true as well. plates depend on humming birds, too. there are some of flowers that can only bepollomated
by the humming birds. without stopping to feed and spreading pollen from flower to flower, these plants would cease to exist.

But the problem, well, as the nature habitat along these migration routes is developed by humans for housing or agriculture, or cleared for raising cattle, for instance, there is less food available for migration humming birds. their nesting sites a fact affected, too, the same by the same sorts of human activities. And all of these activitiespose a real threat to humming bird population. So help them survive, we need to preserve their habitats. and one of the concrete ways people have been doing this is by cleaning up polluted
by habitat areas. And then, we replanting flowers, replanting native flowers, that humming birds feed on. Promoting ecologicaltourism is another way to help save their habitat. as the number of the visitors, equal-tourists who come to harming bird habitats to watch the birds. the more the number of the visitor grows, the more local businesses’ profit. so ecological tourism can bring financial rewards. all the more reason to value these beautiful creatures on their habitat, right?

but to understand more about how to protect them to support humming birds the best we can. We’ve got to learn more about their breeding, nesting sites and migration routes, and also about the natural habitats we find there. that just help us determine how to prevent further to the decline in the population.

a good research method , a good way to learn more, is by running about the rounding abandunt banding study. banding the birds allows us to track them over their lifetime. It’s been a practice that’s been by research of a year for years. In fact, most of what we’ve known about the humming birds, comes from banding studies, where we capture a humming bird and make sure all the information about it, like its weight and age and length, and all are required recorded and put into an international information database.

and then we place an extremely lightweight band on one of its legs. well, what looks like a leg.although technically it’s considered part of the bird’s foot. anyway these bands are perfectly save safe , and some humming birds have worn them for years with no evidence of any problems. the band is labeled with tracking number.

Oh, and there is phone number on the band for people to call for free, to report a banded bird to be found or funture to record recapture.

so when a banded bird is recaptured and reported, we learn about the migration route.
its growth, how long it has been alive, on the life. it's life span. one recapture
bird was banned almost 12years earlier - she was one of the oldest humming birds on record. another interesting thing we learned is that some hummingbirds no longer use a certain route, they travel by a different route to reach their destination.

and findings like these have been interest to biologists and environmental scientists in a number of the countries who are trying to understand the complexities
conplex of how changes in a habitat affect to species in it.

Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
S: Hi, Professor Archure, you note(know) how in class last week you said you were looking for students who are interest in volunteering for your archeology project?
P: Of course, are you volunteering?
S: Yes, I am, it sounds really interesting, but er… do I need to have any experience for these kinds of projects?
P: No, not really. I (assume that) most students taking the introductory level of class would have little or no experience with the archeological research, but that’s OK.
S: Oh, good, that’s really(a relief). Actually, that’s why I’m volunteering for the project-to get experience. What kind of work is it?
P: Well, as you know, we’re studying the history of the campus this semester. This used to be an (agricultural) area and we already know that where the main lecture hall now stands, there once were farm house and barn that were erected in the late 1700s. We are (excavating)near the lecture hall to see what types of artifacts we find, you know, things people used in the past got(buried) when the campus was constructed. We’ve already began to find some very interesting items like old bottles, buttons, pieces of (clay pottery).
S: Buttons and (clay pottery)? Did the old owners leave such a hurry that they left their (clothes)and dishes behind?
P: Hmmm… that’s just one of the questions we hope to answer with this project.
S: Wow, and it’s all right here on campus.
P: That’s right, not(no travelling involved.) I wouldn’t expect volunteers to travel to a site, especially in the middle of the semester. We expect to find many more things, but we do need more people to help.
S: So… how many student volunteers are you looking for?
P: I’m hoping to get five or six. I’ve asked for volunteers in all of the classed I teach,but no one has responded. You are the first person to express interest.
S: Sounds like it could be a lot of work. Is there er…is there anyway I can use the experience to get some extra credit in class? I mean, can I write a paper about it?
P: I think it’ll depend on what type of work you do in the excavation, but I imagine we can arrange something. Actually I’ve been considering offering extra credit for class because I’ve been having a tough time getting volunteers. Extra credit is always a good(incentive) for students.
S: And how often would you want the volunteers to work?
P: We’re asking for three of four hours per week, depending on your schedule. A senior researcher, I think you know John Franklin, my assistant, is on site every day.
S: Sure, I know John. By the way, will there be some sort of training?
P: Yes, er…I want to wait till Friday to see how many students volunteer, and then I’ll schedule the training class next week at a time that’s convenient for everyone.
S:OK. I’ll wait to hear from you. Thanks a lot for accepting me.

Oh, good, that's releaf[a relief]. Actually, that's why I'm volunteering for the project, to get experience. What kind of work is it?

Well, as you know, we are studying the history of the campus this semester, this used to be an agricultral area and we already know that where the main lecture hall now stands there once were farm house and barn that were erected in the late 1700s. We are excavating near the lecture hall to see what types of artifacts we find. You know, things people used in the past that got buried when the campus was constructed. We've already begun find some very interesting items, like old bottles and buttons, pieces of clay pottery.

Buttons and clay pottery? Did the old owners leave in such a hurry that they left their cloths and dishes behind?

That's just one of the questions we hope to answer with this project.

Some of the world's oldest preserved art is the cave art of Europe. Most of it in Spain and France. And the earliest cave paintings found to date are those of the Chauvet Cave in France discovered in 1994.

And you know, I remember when I heard about the results of the dating of the Chauvet paintings, I said to my wife:"can you believe these paintings are over thirty thousand years old?" And my three-year-old daughter piped up and said:"Is that older than my great grandmother?" But that was the oldest age she knew.

And you know, come to think of it, it's pretty hard for me to really understand how long thirty thousand years is, too. I mean, we tend to think that people who lived at that time must be pretty primitive. But I'm gonnar to show you some slides in a few minutes and I think you'll agree with me that this art is anything but primitive. They're masterpieces. And they looks so real, so alive that it is very hard to imagine they're so very old.

Now not everyone agrees on exactly how old. A number of the Chauvet paintings have been dated by a lab to thirty thousand or more years ago. That would make them not just older than any other cave art, but about twice as old as the art in the caves at Altamira or Lascaux, which you may heard of.

Some people find it hard to believe Chauvet is so much older than Altamira and Lascaux, and they noted that there's only one lab did the dating for Chauvet without any independent confirmation for any other lab. But be that as it may--whatever the exact date, whether it's fifty thousand, twenty thousand or thirty thousand years ago, the Chauvet paintings are from the dawn of art. So they're the good place to start our discussion of cave painting.

Now one thing you've got to remember is the context of these paintings.

Paleolithic humans—that’s the period we're talking about, here, the Paleolithic, the early stone age, not too long after humans first arrived in Europe--the climate was significantly cold then, and so rock shelters, shallow caves were valued as homes protected for the wind and rain. And in some cases, at least, artists drew on the walls of their homes. But many of the truly great cave art sites, like Chauvet, were never in habited. These paintings were made deep inside a dark cave where no natural light can penetrate. There's no evidence of people ever living here. Cave bears, yes, but not humans. You would have had to make a special trip into the cave to make the paintings and a special trip to go see it. And each time you'd have to bring along torches to light your way. And people did go see the art. There are charcoal marks from their torches from the cave wall clearly dating from thousands of years after the paintings were made. So we can tell people went there. They came, but they didn't stay. Deep inside the cave like that is not really a place they wanted to stay. So, why? What inspired the paleolithic artists to make such beautiful art in such inaccessible places. We'll never really know, of course, though it's interesting to speculate. But...ah...getting into the paintings themselves, virtually all paleolithic cave art represents animals and Chauvet is no exception. The artists were highly skilled at using or even enhancing the natural shape of cave walls to give depth and perspectives to their drawings. The sense of motion and vitality in these animals, well, wait, I'll show you the slides. Anyway, most paleolithic caves are depicts large herbivores. Horses are most common overall, with deer and bison pretty common, too. Probably, animals they hunted. But earlier as Chauvet, there's a significant interest in large dangerous animals. Lots of rhinoceros, lions, mammoth, bears, remember the ranges of many animal species were different back then, so all these animals actually lived in the region at that time. But the Chauvet artists didn't paint people. There's a half- man- half- bison creature, and there's outline of human hands, but no depiction of full human. So why these precise animals? Why not birds, fish, snakes? Were there for their religion, magic or sheer beauty? We don't know. But whatever it was, it was worth to them to spend hours deep inside the cave with just torch between them and utter darkness. So on that note, let's dim the lights, so we can see these slides and actually look the techniques they used.
