Neanderthals, not humans, were first artists on Earth: Study
The world's first cave art was made by human ancestors called Neanderthals and not Homo sapiens, an international study has claimed. Researchers studied three caves in Spain dating back at least 64,000 years, with walls paintings depicting animals and geometric signs. Neanderthals were settled in Europe before modern humans left Africa to reach Europe about 40,000 years ago, noted researchers.
