Dolmens are interesting - what's that about?

Asked by cloudvertigo (350points) May 7th, 2011

Dolmens are big pieces of stone, big stone tinkertoys, art pieces, stone moai and such—like at Stonehenge. It seems as though, as a species, we’re quite interested in these things. Would it be crazy to suppose that these things might be signifiers of a preferred (ice age?) environment that’s built into the human psyche—kind of like how a spider might choose a specific place to build it’s web or how a turtle might find itself migrating to a distant island to breed. . . and we just “make ourselves at home.”
