The illustration showcases a scene of a male figure engaging in an essential activity - using a stone tool to break open a pine cone and access its edible seeds, known as kernels. This depiction sheds light on the technological advancements and resourcefulness of our ancient ancestors. Set against the backdrop of southern Europe, this artwork offers a glimpse into the daily lives of prehistoric people. The caucasian man depicted here represents one of many individuals who relied on their ingenuity and knowledge to survive in this harsh environment.
