Prehistoric art

Art history,

Brought to you by Smarthistory. You’ve seen the drawing of human evolution showing a procession of monkey, ape, primitive and modern man? Well, somewhere along that line early man could be shown holding a paint brush and a chisel. Mankind has been making art for at least 100,000 years. Why was the earliest art made? What might it have once meant? "Prehistoric" refers to a time before writing, which makes these questions particularly difficult to answer—but fascinating to contemplate.
