Here I have pictures to support my claims, and I'll you what ... those caves are surrounded by all sorts of legends of the most CREEPY kinds.
Probably a prehistoric haunted house tourist attraction. ;')
I've read that the hand prints were done as a way of saying, "I was here". I have wondered before whether anyone has ever tried viewing the walls in other spectra, to see if there are layers of older hands.
Uh-oh, looks like I'm way behind here...

If you actually look at the photo, it is obvious that the hand was placed on the rock and then spattered with the paint leaving a clean impression of the hand.
This same technique is used in our own southwest by more recent artists.
