Cavemen Were Much Better At Illustrating Animals Than Artists Today

[Secular Elf]

Apparently they used to paint animals with more than four legs so when lit by flickering fire they seemed to run.

A new study of cave art across France - in which animals appear to have multiple limbs, heads and tails - has found that the paintings are actually primitive attempts at animation.

When the images are viewed under the unsteady light of flickering flames the images can appear to move as the animals they represent do, the research claims.

I bet that was quite freaky for the paleolithic artists and their fellow cave dwellers. That would no doubt reinforce their feelings of spirituality and what they perceived as the transcendental nature of the animals they hunted.
