AFP 2012-06-15 16:10:17 Iberian paintings Europe's oldest cave art
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY JEAN-LOUIS SANTINI
This undated photograph shows large (2 meter) paintings of horses at the Tito Bustillo Cave, Spain. These overlay earlier red paintings which, from uranium-series dating elsewhere in the cave, might be older than 29,000 years, making them the oldest cave paintings in Europe. The practice of cave art in Europe thus began up to 10,000 years earlier than previously thought, indicating the paintings were created either by the first anatomically modern humans in Europe or, perhaps, by Neanderthals.
