Two possibilities come to mind.

1) the bad attempts were either just smears of paint (or used to be good but have lost part of the image and therefore what they were is now inobvious) and have never been recognized as man-made,

2) the bad artists were clubbed by Og, who then bashed the bad art out of existence. Art criticism would therefore become the first academic specialty.

These don’t appear to be wet, and since the paint is still visible on the surface, the stalactite must have lost its water supply, which is why they grow in the first place. :’)

The pic doesn’t show enough of the cave to see how far off the floor the stal. is, or even what its size is.

That red we see there is red ochre, probably, inorganic, and drawn onto the stone. Looking for blood might be a fruitful idea, good question!

But an interesting and profound thought indeed. Where are the mistakes?

Sort of like asking the question: If an infinite number of monkeys could type an infinite number of manuscripts and come up with the works of Shakespeare, where in the Universe do you stack the mistakes?

In the infinite Universe I suppose you’d put them in infinitee Black Holes, but there are a limited number of caves and wall surfaces.

It’s seems to me that some of the “manuscripts” have been found.

I could weave a fantastic story around them.

But, that’s been done.

Yeah, back in the day when Bob Newhart was doing stand-up and comedy LP records, he did a piece on it that went something like this:

An inspector is checking the work of the typing chimps:
“Here, this looks like something. It says, ‘To be or not to be, that is the gazorninplatz...’

WE ARE NEANDERTHALS!

This is what a neanderthal actually looked like:

YOU may have "people" like that in your family tree; I can tell you for a fact that I don't.

Vendramini on youtube:

Vendramini is making four or five separate claims:

As near as I can tell, the only item on that list which is not supported by evidence is the idea of the SQ hominids punk-eeking into Cro Magnons. I have a much easier time believing the SQs became extinct, the Cro Magnons got here from somewhere else, and the neanderthals finally ****ed with somebody they had no business ****ing with and paid the price for it.

My Opinion.

We are Neanderthal.

We Neanderthals mixed with Modern Humans and became who we are today.

You have the picture wrong

The Neanderthal Theory
(Picture Below)

These guys in Georgia (below) are 1.8 million years old and they don't look as primitive as your picture.
