Upright and sapient?

 


OK, this was an interesting discovery. The world´s oldest "art" might come from...wait for it...Homo erectus! Sensu stricto, to boot. The carved shells were discovered already during the 1890´s by none other than Eugène Dubois himself. Since they are 540,000 years old, this obviously raises a lot of questions. Or maybe not, since we already knew that the erecti could make stone tools. So why not art, bruh?  

540,000-Year-Old Shell Carvings May Be Human Ancestor´s Oldest Art
