Document Summary
Humans" first pictures: paleolithic art: paleolithic art across space and time, theories to explain cave art".

But why did people suddenly decide to start creating images of the world around them: about 35,000 years ago, we began to create pictures and to understand what they meant. The discovery of the prehistoric cave paintings of altamira gave 19th century experts a clue to this question they first theorized the obvious, prehistoric humans painted simply to represent the world around them. But that was not a real answer, for these early artists only seemed to paint one thing animals. And they painted their pictures in dark caves, too, well away from the eyes of admirers.
