Neanderthals as artists



From the Genealogy DNA mailing list at rootsweb.com

Neanderthals as artists.  42,000 year old art from Andalusia
   Dienekes has a spot on his Wednesday blog about the only known
Neanderthal paintings, these of seals. They are found in the Nerja
cave complex on the Costa del Sol and, at 42,000 years, are the worlds
oldest cave paintings.

Regards, Robert
They were probably made by that early Neanderthal artist el Malaga-o
of future Spain. Any painting that old is impressive.
