Only 37,000 years ago. I saw that Werner Herzog movie "cave of forgotten dreams" about 5 years ago and in 3D, it was a very limited release and it's about the caves in southern France with the same thing, hand prints and drawings on the walls from that same time frame, 30k years ago, it was mind blowing. What I found fascinating was not only how well they drew the physical characteristics of the animals, but how they drew them so that they appeared to be in motion. I mean think about it, I couldn't draw a horse or lion from memory like that.

Clearly they had a light source for use back in the caverns.

It’s astounding that they survived, also, there’s the possibility that more remain to be discovered — Chauvet was only found in the mid-1990s.

Looks like we forgot realism and proportion for 30k years until the Greeks rediscovered it.
