Read the passage.
In the Paleolithic period (roughly 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 B.C.), early humans lived in caves
or simple huts or tepees and were hunters and gatherers. They used basic stone and bone tools, as
well as crude stone axes, for hunting birds and wild animals. They cooked their prey, including
woolly mammoths, deer, and bison, using controlled fire. They also fished and collected berries,
fruit and nuts.
Ancient humans in the Paleolithic period were also the first to leave behind art. They used.
combinations of minerals, ochres, burnt bone meal, and charcoal mixed into water, blood, animal
fats and tree saps to etch humans, animals and signs. They also carved small figurines from stones,
clay, bones, and antlers.
Near Montignac, France, a collection of prehistoric cave paintings is discovered by four teenagers
who stumbled upon the ancient artwork after following their dog down a narrow entrance into a
cavern. The 15,000- to 17,000-year-old paintings, consisting mostly of animal representations, are
among the finest examples of art from the Upper Paleolithic period.
First studied by the French archaeologist Henri-Edouard-Prosper Breuil, the Lascaux grotto consists
of a main cavern 66 feet wide and 16 feet high. The walls of the cavern are decorated with some 600
painted and drawn animals and symbols and nearly 1,500 engravings. The pictures depict in
excellent detail numerous types of animals, including horses, red deer, stags, bovines, felines, and
what appear to be mythical creatures. There is only one human figure depicted in the cave: a bird-
headed man with an erect phallus. Archaeologists believe that the cave was used over a long period
of time as a center for hunting and religious rites.
