Pietro Gaietto began his activity as a naturalist and artist towards the middle of the twentieth century, and his archaeological activity since 1959.br>
He conducted field research from Spain to Turkey, in France, Denmark and England, but especially in Italy. To his first book, L' arte nasce agli albori del Quaternario, Savona, 1968, have followed L'
arte vergine, Genova, 1974; Favola itinerante dell'
uomo dell'Età della Pietra in Liguria, Genova, 1976; Prescultura e scultura preistorica, Genova, 1982.
In 1999 he founded and directed the Virtual Museum of the Origins of Man on-line, for the spread of the knowledge of the Paleolithic stone sculpture and of the evolution of the prehistoric art in general, establishing cultural relationships with scholars and amateurs of many nations in the world.
From 2006 he stopped the research on the ground to devote himself exclusively to the writing of scientific texts, collected in the series he conceived and directed "Shapes in Evolution".
On the occasion of its tenth anniversary, I am pleased to present his latest texts in the Italian edition.
