Studying the humorous drawings on the ancient cave shows that the ancient people seem to be enjoying joking around crippled, crippled or stumbled people; They love what is a bit rough, silly.
The "funny picture" left on the cliff has images, depicting the process of one person in the ancient population then stumbling, by entangling in a stone. This is considered to be the oldest known "joke" ever. This painting has "life expectancy" around 1.8 to 2 million years.
It is very interesting to know that the painting above also makes our contemporaries laugh.
In the painting, each movement is described, from the moment he is going to stumble. It is like a short film of comedy that we see today in animated films, such as "Tom and Jerry".
The Sun wrote: Our ancient ancestors also came to jokes, to humor like a lifeline, to help them get rid of everyday stresses and difficulties. The problems "headaches" of the ancient people are extremely much.
In addition, scientists said, the ancient people also used humorous drawings to express their feelings for their fellow human beings, when at that time, humans were not able to express words.
It is also interesting to know that, 4 million years ago, the ancient humanity was able to produce a timbre, reminiscent of the so-called "laughter" today. At that time, "laughter" could very well resemble wheezing and slightly growling, - researchers speculate.
And 2 million years ago, the "laughter" in the present sense could be qualified to appear, when the facial muscles had evolved enough. At this time, laughter can be considered as a channel to convey and express emotions.
