Description
Neanderthal Cave Art, Gibraltar, 39,000 ybp.
This criss-crossing array of grooves scratched on a ledge inside Gorham's cave in Gibraltar some 39,000 years ago is believed to have been made by Neanderthals. This makes it the first engraved cave art attributed to Neanderthals, and probably the most complex. Studies carried out in Gibraltar also suggest that Neanderthals used raptor and corvid feathers, normally black, to decorate their bodies. We believe now Neanderthals decorated their bodies with furs, feathers and pendants. There is no reason to question they were capable of other forms of art.
Neanderthals have traversed a long and tiresome journey along our lines of prejudice, from considering them little more than big monkeys to acknowledging the fact their brain was larger than ours, they lasted on earth far longer than we have and they not only coexisted with us but they also cohabited and interbred,as the genome of all humans outside Africa proves. Our genes are are 2-5% Neanderthal.
It was hard to accept Neanderthals conformed a different kind of humanity, hard to accept that only our prejudice prevented them from being capable of language and now it is that same prejudice that keeps us from accepting they were capable of creating art. Well...
