>>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
