There are several books available on this cave and others which documents the age of the cave paintings. Carbon was used in the paint pigments and was checked by the carbon dating method and it was indicated to be over 30,000 years old. Do a seach on CARBON DATING on GOOGLE for an explaination of how this is done. I do not think there were any Indians in France over 30,000 years ago but we could be wrong.

Some primative people did paint the human form, many as stick figures. But it could be that like some American Indians, when they saw the first photos of themselves, it had "stolen" their soul. When I try to imagine what it would be to be alive and there during those times, I think to myself, this is the way we were created to live.

"Shared by cave bears and our ancesters" i dont fkn think so. Were they one big happy family ? eh, or was one on a plate.

@YamaKazoo - That all depends on which one was on the menu for lunch.

Thank you. There were only two places in the world where this type of ancient art was done 25,000+ years ago, eastern Europe and China, all the others were stick figures. We are fortunate that these beautiful wall paintings have survived this long. I often wonder what it would have been like to be alive at that time. Our ancestors were remarkable humans.

Sorry, typo by me, France is certainly in western Europe.

Why did these animals went extinct?

[mackles]

what is that at 3:14? a piece of clothing? a skull from some animal?

These guys didn't look like apes, one must have been 1,80 meters. They looked exactly like us. There is no link between apes and homo sapiens. Besides, there exist artifacts 100s thousands, even millions of years old. Tools and human bones, shunned by "academia". w w w. mathildenhoehe. org

Breathtaking made me feel quite emotional

@Videogo153

how do we know it was primitive people that did this?

it could of been some Indian's for all we know that could have done these paintings

[PRESHISS12]

That was a real interesting homework assignment...

[Hellrythm]

Does this make the moder evulotiontheori crack? Maybe whites did not come from africa? And the monkeys are a degeneratet for of man or so?

[toddmuddywaters]

@eyechord. We didn't come out of Africa 40,000 years ago. The most current and scientifically accepted time frame for anatomically modern humans to "leave" Africa was around 125,000 years ago. You are only off by up to two thirds. Get your facts straight before making a post where science is involved. Either get hip, or sound like a dip!
