The Mind in the Cave: Consciousness and the Origins of Art is a 2002 study of Upper Paleolithic European rock art written by the archaeologist David Lewis-Williams, then a professor at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Lewis-Williams first published some of the ideas that would form the basis for his argument in The Mind in the Cave in a 1988 academic paper co-written with Thomas Dowson entitled “The Signs of All Times: Entoptic Phenomena in Upper Palaeolithic Art” Fellow archaeologist Robert J. Wallis would later characterise this as “one of the most controversial papers” in rock art research
