12 THE HAMILTON ASSOCIATION. 
The Paleolithic man in some way was swept out of existence 
and succeeded by the Neolithic man, who came from the Somali 
region and crossed the Mediterranean into Europe. In the 
caves scrapers are found supposed to have been used for removing 
hair from skins, suggesting the use of clothing, and also of animal 
food. Ash-heaps and charred bones and flesh indicate the use of 
fire for heat and for cooking purposes. Drawings on ivory and 
horn represent the mastodon, the horse, the reindeer, etc. The 
horse is represented with a covering on, indicating that it was 
domesticated. The drawing of the reindeer corresponds exactly to 
what we see at the present day. The use of burial places shows 
affectionate regard and suggests family life. That they were organized 
into communities was indicated by the Baton of authority.
