These findings alter the archaeological theory that ancient artists were men, who recorded the exploits and figures of animals such as bison, reindeer, horse and mammoth . House Dean Snow, an archaeologist at Pennsylvania State University, conducted his research a decade ago, following John Manning's work, a British biologist who thinks the fingers of men and women are of length. relatively different.

Colorful hand pictures are found in the famous Pech Merle cave in southern France. Snow told National Geographic magazine that at first glance he thought it was a man's hand, but through Manning's research it was definitely a female handprint. A computer-based algorithm with data on European hands indicates 75% of the art hand prints on caves are women. This finding shows that the role of women in prehistoric society is much greater than previously thought.

According to the Daily Mail, the images of the fingerprints in the cave were 12,000 - 40,000 years ago; Not only found in France but also in Spain, Africa, Australia, Argentina and Borneo. However, this finding is still controversial because Professor R.Dale Guthrie conducted a similar study saying that it is the fingerprint of a minor.
