5. What amazes me

Is how good the representations are. I know the article says that they don't really know who made the drawings, but based on the dates the scientists are estimating, they have to have an idea of the level of development of these people. Those drawings are not of stick figures! It is easy to tell what they are supposed to be. I'm thinking that the average person today wouldn't do as well, especially using charcoal (?) on a rock wall! I've always loved the cave art, especially the ones with a little color. Just amazing!!

Thanks for this article and the good news!!
