Archaeologists Discover Oldest Neanderthal Cave Engravings
- isaacfrond 3y agoThe paper has more figures. Worth checking out https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0286568 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... What strikes me is that the pictures, although clearly recognizable as such, are so alien. They look quite different from the homo sapiens rock paintings that you are used to seeing. Makes you think what an alien civilization's art might look like.
