Why Is Émile Cartailhac Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Émile Cartailhac was a French prehistorian, sometimes regarded as one of the founding fathers of the studies of the cave art. Cartailhac is perhaps best remembered because of his involvement with the Altamira paintings, which he originally dismissed as a forgery on the specious grounds that primitive men had no capacity for abstract thought. This ruined the reputation of Altamira's discoverer, Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola, which Cartailhac feebly attempted to restore 14 years after the former's death, once mounting evidence had made the prehistoric authorship of the cave art undeniable.
