Were women the first truly thinking human beings? Were women responsible for the development of human intelligence? Femina Sapiens explores the art and artifacts of prehistoric and primitive imagery to discover the truth, Homo sapiens is a misnomer. "Thinking man" is simply incorrect. The first "thinking" human beings were thinking women, Femina Sapiens.
Succinctly, Part One argues for the feminine origin of human thought and creativity. Beginning with an analysis of a veritable "sphinx," the "Venus of Laussel,"
Femina Sapiens explores an enigmatic message just starting to unfold. Is this "Venus" the herald of "truth"? Does it prove women were the first humans capable of analogical thought and what has been deemed "time-factored" thinking? And was its creator female? As importantly, does prehistoric art provide further examples of humanity's origin from the eternal feminine?
Just who were these prehistoric artists, and what were they trying to tell us? Are we even capable, today, of understanding their metaphorical language?
As Femina Sapiens reveals, from the earliest of cave etchings, a seductive narrative begins to evolve: "the greatest story never told" -- Thus, Part II takes us into this Goddess narrative, where we actively participate in the journey towards our spiritual epiphany, towards our atonement with the one true deity from Whom we come and to Whom we return. Ultimately, as Femina Sapiens concludes, there is no question regarding the identity of "god." The only real question is why aren't we adoring Her?
