Slice | Neanderthals: The First Artists in Human History?

For decades, scientists believed that art began with Homo sapiens around 30,000 years ago. But a discovery in a cave in western France may completely rewrite that story..

Inside the La Roche-Cotard cave, researchers uncovered mysterious engravings that could date back 60,000 years. If confirmed, they were not made by modern humans… but by Neanderthals.


Using experimental archaeology, traceology and cutting-edge dating techniques, scientists investigate who created these strange markings and what they reveal about the cognitive abilities of our ancient relatives
