...professors stood on stage in Sanders Theatre, like rock stars—students in the audience cheering and whistling as they were introduced. Many had faced long waits in the line that had begun snaking its way from Memorial Hall to the front of the Science Center almost two hours beforehand.

Saint Onge isn't the first to speculate that Chumash paintings might have astronomical implications.

But Johnson was so impressed that he co-authored the journal article and is now quite open to the idea that the rock art he's studied his whole adult life might have something to say about the stars. "Whether we're right or not, I don't know, but we keep finding things that strengthen the idea," says Johnson. "And if we keep finding ethnographic support for it, I feel...
