Many art historians and anthropologists believe Paleolithic cave wall art was done by accomplished shaman-artists, but mixed in with the finer paintings are graffiti-like scenes of sex and hunting.

An analysis of thousands of paintings from the late Pleistocene epoch suggests the graffiti artists back then were likely the same as today—teenage males.

---------------snip-------------------------

And as with modern teenagers, the ancients had more on their minds than just cars and sports.

"In the graffiti, there is a lot of below-the-belt-art," Guthrie said. "The people in the art are predominantly women, and not a single one has any clothes on."

2. I caught the article yesterday...

...going through my favorite archaeology website. Kind of gives art history a new perspective - I'm going to look at Altamira and Lascaux a little differently now!

3. Same here,

we've looked at those paintings for so long as, well... sacred cows, that the idea that at least some of it is just stone-age graffiti is hilarious.

They're version of a bathroom wall? :D
