Cave Arts = Teenager Grafitti.

Posted by Alex in Science & Tech on February 15, 2006 at 1:48 am


Dale Guthrie analyzed thousands of cave wall arts and discovered that many are actually today’s equivalent of grafitti done by teenagers!

"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."

But these weren’t just any women, they were Pleistocene Pamela Andersons adorned with ludicrously huge breasts and hips. The walls were also decorated with graphic depictions of genitalia.

It seems that we haven’t evolved that much after all: Link

    Dale is kidding right? He has heard of "The Earth Mother"? yes? He has studied more than just caves I hope and realizes the meanings of genitalia in other cultures than here in the West where people are removed from their nature heritage??? I can only say... Duh on this one.

    He also seems to be forgetting that most grafitti done by teenagers occurs in very visible locations.It is intended to be seen by as many people as possible, while a great deal of cave art is found deep within the cave and is not easily accessible.

    Despite my title, Dale Guthrie only said that a portion of cave arts are done by teenagers. These drawings are distinct than others done by adults.
