Art world links which caught my eye…
I always like to observe that in terms of human development, art is older than agriculture. It’s not even close.
Science believe our ancestors started planting seeds over 11,000 years ago. Recent cave art analysis shows in Indonesia, someone drew a pig 45,500 years ago.
Now we believe we have found art that is not only older than farming, but older than homo sapiens as well.
Neanderthals, long perceived to have been unsophisticated and brutish, really did paint stalagmites in a Spanish cave more than 60,000 years ago, according to a study published on Monday.

THE REMODERN REVIEW 
As a race we homo sapiens tend to think very highly of ourselves
We’re slow learners
I’m not sure that smearing pigment on stalagmites really qualifies as ‘art’. Is that why the author deems it controversial?
Neanderthals invented minimalism? It is a stretch. The controversy was whether the color was naturally occurring-they’ve decided they were not, the pigments were spattered and blown onto the surface, and more than one time, over thousands of years.
