Do Now: Which of the six culture patterns are unique to humans?

 Caves were painted in Africa, Asia, Spain, France.  Made from 40,000 BCE to 11,000 BCE  Different locations, different time periods…but the same subject matter and similar “look”  How can we explain this?

 Mostly animals! Scenes of hunting, of movement  Little human representation  No landscape scenes  What does this mean about what was important to this society? Similarities in Subject Matter

 Similarities in the way these paintings looked  Animals all seem to have rounded bellies  Legs were thin  Outlined in Black  Use of the natural cave colors Artistic Tradition?

 Cave painting was a way to represent the world around themand to give order and meaning to their world  That’s what we use culture for today!  Modern examples?  Cave painting seems to be a tradition  Similar subject matter over a span of 30,000 years  there were long-lasting value and belief systems  Painting styles appear similar in all of these caves  common beliefs  Evidence of Spirituality?  The Shaft Scene/ religious beliefs?  The Unicorn/ common myths  Handprint/ritual theory  Worshipping animals? Evidence of a Common Culture!

 Finding Cave Art helped anthropologists, archeologists realize that these Ancient Humans were as intellectually sophisticated as we are!  This is the first evidence of humans that not only look like modern humans, but ACT like modern humans as well Cave Art as a Turning Point

 After visiting the Caves at Lascoux in 1940, Pablo Picasso famously said, “We have invented nothing new”…What did he mean by this quote?
