So what makes everyone so sure the women didn't do it?

'cause the women were following behind with a scrub-brush and a pail of lye going "Ung, you better get these kids outside before I completely lose my mind! Take them to the tar pits or something!!!"

Most books I've read on cave art always mention the perfectly preserved footprints left in the cave floor clay as being "small and feminine".
The prevailing theory [as of then, anyway] is that it was predominantly women and children visiting the areas that contain the art.

*shrug*

Who knows?
Maybe guys with tiny feet and hands?


[no Freudian or Jungian stuff about that, please]....LOL!

People break their backs trying to read *something deep* into everything when the possibility exists that then, as now, people created art simply because they were artists....:)

Who writes this junk?

So now "they" are sure that the species' ancient "testosterone-fuelled young men" scribble aimlessly, but modern art is meaningful?

I am ashamed that this garbage passes for science.

Testosterone is here for a good reason, as inconvenient as that fact may be to the know-it-all dweebs who write this stuff in their lofty cubicles.

Now I must go out and kill something before I get upset.
