How was Painting Invented<\/span><\/h2>\n

The History of Painting. Painting emerged in prehistory, when nomadic people made use of paintings on rocky walls. They made drawings with charcoal leaving marks in the caves where they passed.<\/p>\n

Recent discovery made in Spain found that the oldest paintings discovered to date, made by humans, were made more than 42,000 years ago.<\/p>\n

Who made the first painting?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first painting was made by primitive men, believed to have been made by Homo Neanderthalis in the prehistoric era. Archaeological excavations carried out in Europe, Africa and Asia reveal that primitive men were the first painters and sculptors and demonstrated through these arts their daily lives.<\/p>\n

Archaeologists and anthropologists have been studying and dating these discoveries. The pieces extracted from the excavations are historical documents, true testimonies of the beginning of man’s life in remote times and of extinct cultures.<\/p>\n

A recent discovery in the Cave of Nerja, in Malaga, Spain, discovered paintings over 42,000 years old, and they can change our ideas about the evolution of humanity.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The paintings were found in the caves of Nerja<\/a>, 60 km east of Malaga<\/a>, in the southern region of Andalusia.<\/h3>\n

Until now, archaeologists thought that the oldest art was created during the Aurignacian period by modern humans.<\/p>\n

But these are much older, much more primitive than those in the Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc Cave<\/a>, (which were the oldest paintings that had been discovered so far and are 32,000 years old)<\/p>\n

We think that art history was exclusive to evolved humans, that our sensitivity was “an intimate part of ourselves, the sapiens, because we think we are the thinkers”. This finding, if confirmed by further testing, proves that this sapiens-centered idea is wrong.<\/p>\n
