This paper amends and adds recent information to Paul A. Janssens' earlier article on the prehistoric paintings of human hands in the cave of Gargas, France.1 Possible diagnoses for the deficiencies found in many of the hand pictures, and some non-medical theories of explanation, are reviewed. It is concluded that the hands used as stencils were mutilated and that the images were deliberately placed within the cave and were not the by-products of some other activity.
本文对保罗·A·扬森斯（Paul A. Janssens）早期关于法国加尔加斯洞穴中人类手部史前绘画的文章进行了修订并补充了最新信息。1 文中回顾了许多手部绘画中发现的缺陷的可能诊断，以及一些非医学的解释理论。得出的结论是，用作模板的手被致残，并且这些图像是故意放置在洞穴内的，并非其他活动的副产品。
