Arts
Recently, an argument has been made that the oldest artwork we have is in the form of fossilized handprints and footprints left in travertine on the Tibetan plateau. Dating back 169,000 to 226,000 BCE, there is no real argument that these would be the oldest artworks because the oldest known cave paintings are around 50,000 years old. The debate is whether the hand prints and footprints were purposefully arranged and thus a creative act. They seem to have been made by two children estimated to have been around 7 and 12 years old at the time of creation and personally I think it is totally fitting for the first work of art to have been created by kids who just couldn't resist putting their hands and feet on things.
