This time frame puts these paintings in the range of the Neanderthals.

FYI. Notice how everything that is 're-evaluated' turns out to always be older than previously stated.

But didn't Neaderthals coexist with Homo Sapiens? Could be by either of them.

I heard they found a picture of ol' Strom in there.

Even then, the froggish cro-mangons were surrender monkeys, but they did know how to paint! I wonder if they left any wine laying around aging in the cave....

One of the really nifty tricks the artist(s) of Lasceaux employed was the use of simulcra in the rock to paint upon, bringing out even more the the natural formation's similarities to a horse, etc. and giving it a slightly 3-D effect, whose dancing shadows must have been quite startling when viewed in the flickering light of a hand held torch.

The older you and I get, the less long ago 30,000 years seems. 300 people who each lived to 110 could represent the entire period. Only 300 lives. If each were 105 and each taught a 5 year old everything, names, dates, places, and the 5 year old did the same in his turn, we could have an oral tradition going all the way back. 300 isn't many. 30,000 years isn't much.
To: RightWhale
Or even 500-1000 generations. I wonder if we are really retelling some of those stories anyway.

"But didn't Neaderthals coexist with Homo Sapiens? Could be by either of them." The youngest Neanderthal skeleton found is 27,500 years old. I believe we are the Neanderthal.

To: blam
You know, not many generations of humankind could fathom a calculation based on people living more than 35-40 years.
To: RightWhale
"What will the story of WTC911 sound like in 30,000 years? "Good point. If you come up with a good story, email me. It could be a guide to solve some of the riddles/myths from our own past.

To: Ada Coddington
"Who is "we"?" All of us alive today. I believe they bred with the moderns and we are the consequence.
