“As has often been said: beliefs and ideas cannot be fossilized. Hence certain scholars have preferred to say nothing about the ideas and beliefs of the Paleanthropians, instead of reconstructing them by the help of comparisons with the hunting civilizations. This radical methodological position is not without its dangers. To leave an immense part of the history of the human mind a blank runs the risk of encouraging the idea that during all those millennia the activity of the mind was confined to the preservation and transmission of technology. Such an opinion is not only erroneous, it is fatal to a knowledge of man. Homo faber was at the same time Homo ludens, sapiens, and religiosus.”

“The researcher should try to rid himself of the predominance of emotions, prejudices and preconceptions. This is a demanding requirement... No man can free himself completely of emotions, prejudices, and preconceptions. Yet, an honest researcher could still try his best before an objective and fair assessment of any issue can be reached.”
