The book surveys San rock art across southern Africa, from Angola to the Cape, organized by geographic regions and stylistic zones like the Drakensberg, arid interior, and coastal areas. Paintings and engravings depict animals, hunters, hybrid beings, and abstracts, presented as tied to hunting, trance rituals, and hunter‐artist spirituality.
