    It’s amazing it has survived so long too. When you look at animals like Przewalkis horse, you realise they were drawing and shading the artworks accurately for what they saw in nature around them. It’s also interesting that recent analysis of the handprint sizes has discovered that many of them were made by women, so presumably the art works were too. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/131008-women-handprints-oldest-neolithic-cave-art

      can’t presume anything

      that’s why I wrote “they and their” , not him or her
