The Beginning of Graphic Art By Anne Merrie-Pessis.

Drawing, Petro glyphs (Engravings in Low Relief) giving shape to materials such as stone, wood, bone, transforming raw materials, and planning a work of Art before creating, are all humans Activities (To activity) in which there is evidence back to prehistoric times. Painting the walls on rock shelter and caves is a practice that occurred in every continent, and the evidence that these graphic activities began at approximately the same time all over the world. This coincidence leads one to think of these practices.

The African Continent is home to the oldest evidence of the species Homo  Sapiens to whom, according to the modern knowledge, authorship of historic rock painting and engraving attributed one should not a priori exclude the possibility. Based on recent findings about Homo Nearderthalensis, that other species may also made rock paintings. However until now, the oldest rock paintings dated have been those of the chouvet Caves, in Ardêche (France), where Graphic recordings were made between 35.000 and 30.000 years B.P, by which time Neanderthal man had  disappeared.
