PREHISTORIC CAVE ART AS A COMMUNICATION SYMBOL

Abstract

With an emphasis on its implications for comprehending early human intellect, communication, and creativity, this article examines the origins, evolution, and cultural relevance of prehistoric cave art. The article provides data about famous finds, such as Altamira in Spain and Lascaux in France. These paintings of animals, people, and abstract symbols, frequently found in acoustically resonant cave chambers, suggest functions ranging from ceremonial and storytelling to marking territory and perhaps even early forms of communication. The connection between the origins of language and cave art is also examined in the work.
