There isn't enough information to say at this point whether it will change any ideas that are currently held, but it might. At any rate, since these things are so rare, itis a very important find.

"were made some 25,000 years ago, Henri de Marcellus, mayor of the town of Vilhonneur where the cave is located, told France-Info radio."
The mayor? Give me a freaking break. I smell tourists dollars.

This stuff was discovered some time ago. THere's even a book about it.
Art hit the ground running. There appear to be no amateur, tenative, halting steps ~ there was no art, and then there was.
This is a result of some sort of genetic change that occurred in Europe first.

Well at least it's reassuring to parents today that 25,000 years ago parents had problems with kids drawing on the walls. A little 409 will get those caves clean in no time.

30,000-10,000 BC (US) B.C: Palo Indians cross from Asia to America over an ice sheet that will eventually melt away.
10,000 BC Many stone age cultures developed. The Chinese civilization emerged from two of these cultures, Yangshao and Longshan. By the end of the Palaeolithic 10,000 years ago, there was a shift in the environment and the plants growing wild and a shift in the social pattern of relationships. In the "fertile crescent" around the rivers Tigris and the Euphrates, there is evidence of settlements and grain storage, but only of wild grain. This wild grain flourished and peoples ceased migrating because they and the animals they hunted lived on the abundant grain food. The first sign of the domestication of animals (dogs) was found at these sites.
