Prehistoric cave paintings have been discovered in caves around the world. These paintings are not just the simple, childlike drawings that one might expect from very primitive, almost pre-human artists, but in many case exhibit amazing use of color, composition and perspective, as well as a fine grasp of the anatomical structure of the animals portrayed. Since they were discovered in the last centuries, there has been much speculation over why these early humans created such artistic masterpieces. While no fully agreed upon answers have as yet been produced, it is undeniable that the existence of these amazing artworks has radically changed our understanding of our very early ancestors and what it means to be human. And that is all on top of the fact that they are just remarkable works of art that are a total joy to look at!
