Fifty thousand years ago, Neanderthal artists in Ice Age Europe painted symbols and handprints deep inside caves, leaving behind some of the oldest known art on the continent. These discoveries are transforming how we understand our closest human relatives.Today, Tristan Hughes is joined by Genevieve von Petzinger to explore the fascinating story of Neanderthal art. What kinds of images did Neanderthals create? What did these markings mean? And how might their artistic traditions have influenced the first groups of Homo sapiens who later arrived in Europe?MOREHomo Sapiens v Neanderthals<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000760668203" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/01POus7bWJQYw2K3O7nIDj?si=Ez_ciEw_T4u2o5eaA2WQGA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a>Lascaux Cave: Ice Age Art<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000642225443" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7sc0jkkZHHNHqfezOQ64lo?si=4dzhClceRICsb-LZ_1yiIw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a>We're going on *TOUR* to Australia and New Zealand! - grab your tickets <a href="https://fane.com.au/whats-on/an-evening-with-tristan-hughes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.Presented by Tristan Hughes.
