and what motivated them to leave their creative marks on the limestone caves remains a mystery.

So, when you throw your spear at it, dont. aim. here!”

"The ancient artwork is incomplete, but appears to depict a large mammal — probably a type of wild cow — with an oval-shaped body, thin legs and a spear sticking out of its rump."

Early instruction diagram?

Quite possibly a primitive portrayal of the extinct aurochs.

Does the artist insure his cave with Geico?

Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall
When there wasn’t even any Hollywood
They heard the call
And they wrote it on the wall
For you and me we understood

>>IN limestone caves hidden deep in the jungle of Borneo, archaeologists have discovered the oldest known figurative drawing created by a human artist, dating back at least 40,000 years...

The authors also note that the painting and others like it were made at roughly the same time period as animal figurines carved from mammoth tusks that were discovered in west-central Germany.

This suggests that humans on opposite ends of Eurasia began creating figurative art at about the same time, they said.

But who these ancient Bornean artists were, whether they had a relationship with artists in the west... remains a mystery.

I doubt there were many people walking from Borneo to Germany 40,000 years ago

What’s interesting about this is that these painting occurred in the same time frame as the cave paintings in Germany.

The reason this is interesting is that 40000 years later european Sailors get out to Hawaii and other pacific Island within a thousand years of Polynesians arriving from north of Australia using ships with similar technologies navigating by way of similar insights into the stars.

Its almost as if at the deepest level humans all over the planet have been progressing at roughly the same speed—even without interaction.

There have been earlier reports of art about as oldest as the oldest known art from Europe being found in that part of the world.

I would guess that the artists were right-handed--they are making stencils of their left hands.
