Why is paleolithic European art so superiour to other art(both paleolithic and modern HG)?

[XenophobicPrussian]

Really, we don't see the quality of art like this until Sumeria.

Upper Paleolithic European art:


(30, 000 BC, France)


(30, 000 BC, France)










(14, 000 BC, France)


(18, 500 BC, Spain)


18, 500 BC, Spain)

Other hunter gatherer art:



(7, 500 BC, Central Anatolia)


(30, 000 BC, India)


(40, 000 BC, Indonesia)


(5k BC, Somalia)


(South Africa)


(Neolithic Egypt)


(Australia)


(Australia)


(Americas)

HG cave paintings are almost non-existant in NE Asia, but they had pottery with designs on them by 20, 000 BC, while the Middle-East and Europe didn't get pottery before 7k BC.

Before someone says I cherrypicked, please, look it up yourself, there are no cave paintings of the same quality outside of Europe.

So, the point is, being able to draw well correlates with IQ. Did paleolithic Europeans have white priviledge? Likely not, only more cranial capacity.

It's possible.
It could also be caused by the materials they had available.Or maybe they preferred a different style.

Neanderthal DNA was higher back then as compared with later people. Neanderthals bestowed upon them larger visual cortexes snd higher visual IQ than modern people which, when utilized for artistic purposes, resulted in spectacular visual effect.

The superior art was created by the neanderthal-descended cromags of europe which almost became extinct. Their remnants invented the bronze age and pushed out the neolithic dindu from europe and created the europe we know of today.

Other primitives did make great art however, just of a different form. Aboriginal Australian carvings are very impressive and demonstrate great visual flexibility:

This one is actually really good.

What I learned form this thread is that pre-historic Australian people had giant nipples and winged penises.

You seem to know a lot about Neanderthals.

I thought that due to their sloped foreheads, that they were quite stupid (though developed in other areas, such as visual cortex). Is this true?

I think those are supposed to be testicles. But winged penises sound a lot cooler.
