I need to check the date in the PDF. I think it may be a lot more recent that 20k bp.

I have a collected a large number of these representations - of what? They appear all over the world, in the Alps, on Easter Island, on the African continent - and here's one from CARAL in Peru:

"Why would anyone even consider that it is a picture of MAN...why not a lizard...."

Uhhh . . . hyper imagination?

[YHAOS]

Well . . . it is.
Maybe . . .

[SunkenCiv]

Could have been a cartoon character, or maybe an early version of Kokopeli?
