OK, just how does making hand stencils demonstrate abstract art?
My dog makes temporary paw stencils when he walks in the snow.

Both are superior to Obama’s recent portrait.

I remember one study noting that when Neanderthals made necklaces, they tied the beads together by the tops, while Homo sapiens drilled holes in the beads to more securely hold them. Neanderthals apparently never learned this.
All my work. I have a ranch covered in the Caramal coloered chert and have some real nice Edwards Gray. No heat treating needed on either.
Neandertal never ate fish, and that's why they went extinct -- oh, wait, someone finally actually studied the strata and found out that Neandertal did eat fish. But vegetables, N didn't eat, oh wait, N invented vegetable soups. But N couldn't speak because *it* didn't have a hyoid bone, and, oh, now wait, now we've found hyoid bones (which are so fragile they and not found in most remains of great age). The point is, this cave art research is new, and blows away another silly manifestation of bias against Neandertal.
The Neandertal Enigma"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
