art (prehistoric)

Prehistoric art refers to creative expressions produced by early humans before written language, primarily found in caves, on bones, or rocks. These artworks include paintings, carvings, and sculptures, often depicting animals, hunting scenes, and symbols. They served various purposes, such as ritualistic practices, communication, or recording experiences. Created using natural materials like charcoal, ochre, and stone, prehistoric art provides valuable insights into the beliefs, environment, and daily life of our early ancestors. It represents humanity’s innate desire to interpret and leave a mark on the world, linking us across millennia.
