In the village of Vilafames, in the Valencia region of Spain, there is a cave just below the castle where there are rock paintings that date to about 15,000 BC. When I visited the cave in 2006, I was taken aback to see the resemblance between one of the images (figure 12) and drawing I made for a scientific journal several years earlier. My drawing was intended to illustrate the “privatization of sensation” You will see why the thought immediately occurred to me that the ingoing spiral in the head of the humanoid figure on the left was meant by the Neolithic artist to signify ‘containment, privacy’ -- the essential qualities of conscious selfhood. ~ Page 162
