Neolithic Cave Paintings Research

Neolithic cave paintings, are ancient cave paintings created during the Neolithic era, beginning around 10,200 BC, and ending between 4,500, and 2000 BC. 

They are one of the earliest forms of artwork, and have survived over a huge leap in time.

Interestingly, there were according to scientific research, more female artists during these times, than make artists. This is proven due to comparing the hand sizes between males, and females.
