A team from the University of Tours analyzed marks found on a wall in La Roche-Cotard cave in the French region of Centre-Val de Loire.
Based on these engravings' shape, spacing and arrangement, the team concluded they were deliberate, organized and intentional shapes created by Neanderthal fingers drawing making indents on a soft surface.
By analyzing sediment found at the site, they worked out that the cave had become closed off around 57,000 years ago as rocks and debris filled it up.
Writing in the journal Plos One, the team said this dates the 'finger fluting' to well before Homo sapiens became established in the region.
This, combined with the fact that stone tools within the cave are associated with Neanderthals, is strong evidence that these engravings are the work of Neanderthals, they said.
By studying layers of rock, they said the engravings could have even been made as far back as 75,000 years ago.

It is a sham there absolutely nothing discernible other than what some bored researchers draw over the top of the video in wishful thinking of what they want to see
Remember the Silurians
I’d doubt that anything meaningful was communicated by the finger marks, such as one might imagine from later modern human cave markings that conveyed deliberate messages.
Whether it was abstract, in terms of expression, perhaps. Or from bored Neanderthal kids.
Oh, so you were there and watched him?
