45,000 years ago ice sheets covered the polar regions and mountain tops of the world. Human population during this glacial period had been calculated to have been in the tens or thousands, if not even less. Homo sapiens outbirthed neanderthals, fighting for shelters such as caves.
Recently researchers discovered a cavern in Sulawesi covered with ancient paintings considered to the dawn of art.
There are only animals in the wall tableaus.
Big animals.
Cave bears, mammouths, giant hyenas, and saber-toothed tigers.
Abstract like Paul Klee.
No representations of humans or Neanderthals.
Only handprints.
I personally think of these caves more as religious museums than domiciles.
Otherwise pornography had to exist deeper in the earth, because that's just the way men are, unless all these early cultures were dominated by women.
Eve and Adam.
I know who came first no matter what the Bible says.
