60 per cent accuracy?? Ye olde "close enough for government work" comes to mind.

Or possibly, at the time men’s hands were more similar to women’s hands.

I’m inclined to go with young male artists rather than females.
To: nickcarraway
Most pictures were naked women and wild animals. Here's a clue...
What do young men like to do most?
To: nickcarraway
They were doing their nails.

Or making “honey-do” lists.

Perhaps the artists were male, and they asked a lot of women “Want to come up and look at my etchings?”

The first artists were men.
The first canvas was a snowbank.

If I had been there I would have been drawing on the walls of the cave and I am female!

Maybe they were trying to clean all that paint off their cave house walls?
To: Harmless Teddy Bear
“Perhaps they were decorating?”
Naah! They were just re decorating and changing the cave walls for each season.
Now we know where and when the re decorating gene came from for our wives, mothers, sisters and other women.
