Husserl’s phenomenology shows that phenomena in general display aspects that are accessible while others seem to be reluctant to be analyzed. Among the latter are prehistoric animals, humans from animistic cultures, and the unconscious side of subjectivity. This paper aims to describe some essential features of these phenomena and suggest that they are only relatively inaccessible. Prehistoric animals can be reconstructed on the basis of current ones. Animism is a universal feature in all humans, and the unconscious can be accessed through its thresholds and through the recollection of dreams.
