Scientists have determined that a big block of rock in southern France is engraved with the earliest example of prehistoric wall art. Research indicates that the limestone carving is 37,000 years old and shows what Early Aurignacian human artists were thinking about.
The carvings are of prehistoric lady bits. This is important for art historians and huge news for standup comic/archeologists.
