Hallow - how would you define art in early hominid existence? A representational carving is art. Are cave paintings art? How about clay beads? At that stage is art simply something made which isn't a necessary part of survival?

I think 30,000 is not the oldest piece of art made by bipedals.

Actually, I copied this from a book my dad got for Christmas. Basically, this is the data I copied here, just according to the book. Cool

it's pretty amazing to see that this sculpture has survived all these years. it's probably made from mammut ivory
