OK, dremandan, they're not neolithic they're paleolithic. The "culture" application was by respected author Gregory Curtis who wrote "The Cave Paintings". They differ in many ways from a child's painting of a house, tree, and dog. To quote two: "for instance nothing of the landscape-clouds, earth,sun, moon, and, only rarely, a horizon-figures in cave art. It's of of many striking omissions." And, "Analyzing the order of superimposed images, they determined that wherever horses, aurochs, and stags appear on the same panel....the variations in their coats correspond to their respective mating seasons". This is a very exciting and mysterious topic which has intrigued anthropologists for decades. I didn't wish to start a debate among non experts. I posted this as an invitation to curious minds to explore this fascinating 40,000 year culture. I'm far from an expert in the field of anthropology and as I think likely neither are you, dremandan. I do intend to keep studying this subject in addition to entertaining some personal conjectures. Thank you.
