ABSTRACT={These excerpts from the book "The beaver of the Cevennes, introduction to complex evolutionary processes" are dedicated to its artistic representation in France and Canada, where it appears on the totem of the first peoples. The author observed Castor fiber on a Cévennes river, it begins to permeate the culture of the Gard hinterland, on the other hand in Ardèche, its presence is recounted from prehistoric times. Nowadays his very remarkable image of a sciuromorph rodent is widely used to promote tourist and craft activities, more generally his name is included in the sign of a major DIY brand.}}
