The oldest drawings of humanity

Archaeologists have uncovered the oldest drawings of humans as seals painted in the Cave of Nerja, Malaga, Spain more than 42,000 years ago. This discovery will radically change what we previously thought about human evolution.

32,000-year-old paintings are found in the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave, France is believed to be the oldest pictures to date. Archaeologists believe that Homo sapiens are the owners of this Aurignacian period artwork (about 40,000 - 28,000 years old). However, these newly found paintings are even more "primitive" than they were 10,000 years old, Gizmodo said.

Drawings of seals in the Nerja cave in Spain, yes
dating back 42,000 years, are the oldest drawings in the world.

According to the latest calculations of the age of coal found next to drawings of seals in the Nerja cave (this coal is used or for painting, painting), the seals were created over 42,300 years. Previously, maybe even 43,500 years.

The leader of the excavation project, José Luis Sanchidrián, University of Córdoba, Spain, affirmed this was a surprising scientific discovery, revolutionizing our understanding of history and culture. and the evolution of humanity.

According to Professor Sanchidrián, all scientific data proves that these pictures were drawn by Homo Neanderthalensis (an older gibbon than Homo Sapiens), not the modern Homo Sapiens, this before. capital is said to be impossible.

Specifically, scientists have so far insisted that only modern Homo Sapiens (human beings) have the ability to think aesthetically. This discovery overturned it, proving that the Neanderthals that were supposed to be closer to monkeys also thought about beauty.
