"100,000 Years of Beauty" brings together contributions from more than three hundred authors from various cultures or linguistic areas and about thirty-five nationalities. The quest for beauty has obsessed the human species for over one hundred thousand years. The human body is its preferred medium. Body modeling and canon definitions, care and color application, hairstyles and ornaments, nudity and clothing—this extravagant variety of signs forms a language that signifies cultural belonging, gender, era, age, and social status.
