Prehistoric children also go to kindergarten?

Archaeologists have discovered cave art that provides evidence that children from the hunter-gatherer era have been involved in a form of prehistoric kindergartens.

A conference at the University of Cambridge, which begins September 30, will reveal the latest study of drawings created by children in famous prehistoric caves in France.

The drawing of rhinos, mammoths and horses 13,000 years ago was found in the cave system in Rouffignac. Some pictures were found on high walls, indicating they might have received the help of adults.

Archaeologist Jess Cooney said: 'Some lines drawn above prove that children are made by someone or at least on someone's shoulders'.

In addition, thousands of lines - a simple form of decorative art - are made by moving fingers to the surface of walls and roofs, creating soft and complex lines. (called Finger Flutings).

The research team recently developed a method to help determine the age and gender of these young authors. Accordingly, the most appearing is the picture of a pre-pre-5-year-old girl.

'We found signs that the drawing belongs to 4 children aged 3 to 7 years old. It's interesting that we know at least two of them , 'Jess Cooney added.

Besides, this finding may also be a clear evidence of prehistoric gender equality issues.
