Prehistoric Artworks

A site you don't think of when you think of art: National Geographic. Yet, here are two great art stories from them:

1. Prehistoric Hand Prints
After analyzing handprints in prehistoric cave paintings, they've discovered that many of them are done by women. Indicating that many of the actual paintings are probably also done by women, which isn't what was commonly taught. The older theory being men coming down and painting hunting figures as part of a religious ritual.

2. North America's Oldest Art
A 13,000-year-old mammoth bone etched with a figure of a mammoth.
