Abstract
The quotation above provides some insight into the nature and importance of information behavior for early humans . Information behavior allowed them to learn about the behavior of animals and to create categories of information that were represented in different types of animals depicted in paleoart on cave walls.
Thus, during our evolutionary history, hominins and finally Homo sapiens became biologically predisposed to certain kinds of learning that lead to particular brain systems specialising in the detection of natural categories, such as knowledge of animal behavior and assorted other biologically important information( Mahon and Caramazza , 2003).
