Cavemen were better hunters than metrosexuals.
Art?
I am an art-adorer! I adore art.
GGG ping. :)
Maybe the artists were recording events that had already happened such as successful hunts on their prey animals.
Real men are not vegans. We have the meats!
In Japanese there was no word for green until recent times. Instead green was considered a shade of blue. It’s so recent a change in fact that even now my wife and her family will still say ao or aoi when referring to some definite shades of green instead of the more precise midori. Languages evolve as we live and learn.
***the color of the sky.***
I was born and raised under the clear High Plains skies yet NEVER noticed the sky was blue till a kid in my first grade class started coloring it in and I asked...”What is that!”
He pointed out and said...”The Sky!”
I WAS SHOCKED! THE SKY WAS BLUE AND I HAD NEVER NOTICED!
That seems like a crazy argument. Before they had paints, didn’t they see blueberries or blue flowers?
Maybe they just forgot to move their hands as they spoke.
I remember reading a book on photography many years ago, in which the author suggested that there is no blue in Homer because the eyesight of the people of that time and place may not have evolved to where they could perceive blue distinctly.

Maybe the gathering part of their life was too boring to provide any reason to immortalize it on the cave wall? Like we don’t watch competitive gardening for entertainment, or at least most don’t, but will watch sports? Maybe wall painting was a man thing, and the women didn’t get to depict their scenes of gathering berries and roots?

Clearly the author is ignorant of the fact that most things were in black and white up until the 1960s ;-)
Cavemen didn’t seem to be all that into background and scenery in their wall art.
