Signs and Symbols

Homo Ergaster one of our earliest ancestors was the first species of early Hominid to recognise an abstract mark, the tracks of animals, the ability to equate the traces with the animals that left them gave Homo Ergaster a head start in the evolutionary race and he was probably the first Hominid with the ability to appreciate abstract art. We still use signs and symbols to navigate our environments today, conciously and also via the subconciuos reading of subtle traces left by those who have gone before.
