Robert G. Bednarik
Robert G. Bednarik (born 6 April 1944 in Vienna) is an Austrian prehistorian and cognitive archeologist.
Robert Bednarik moved from Austria to Australia in 1966. Bednarik, who considers himself an autodidact, is an expert[according to whom?] in the fields of rock art and paleolithic portable art. He conducts experimental archaeology and edits four scientific journals.[citation needed]
According to Bednarik, he has published more than 1,450 scientific articles since 1965.[1] He is professor at the International Centre of Rock Art Dating (ICRAD) at the Hebei Normal University in Shijiazhuang (China).[2]
Bednarik's principal research interest is the origins of the human ability to create constructs of reality; consequently, his research focuses on the origins of art,[3] language, and the development of humanoid technology.[4]
