Intricate engravings of parallel finger-drawn lines appeared before Homo sapiens arrived in this region, suggesting that this was the work of our extinct “cousins,” the Neanderthals.
This discovery refutes previous misconceptions about Neanderthals, showing that they were “complex” creatures. They are known to live together in communities, practice health care and use fire.
These engravings are the earliest known works of art attributed to Neanderthals, which shed additional light on their advanced abilities.
The engravings are estimated to be around 75,000 years old.
