1) They were making music and not just by singing

2) They were thanking the animals (did they see the animals as some sort of gods?)

3)They were making jewelry out of beads

For many scholars, these characteristics (create music, art, dance, and technology) separate humans from all  other species.  Ours was the only human species to survive.

It was once thought that these
cultural abilities resulted from a sudden intellectual shift that
distinguished our species from all others. New research
suggests, however, that these abilities might have developed
slowly over a longer period of time.

Tools are not usually considered to
be forms of art. Yet they do require the cognitive abilities to
craft and improve.

This period (middle Paleolithic) also saw the creation of beads made from  shells. They were painted and strung into necklaces and other decorations. These types of art were created at least 75,000  years ago. That's about 30,000 years before the cave paintings.

Therefore, it would seem that we must push back the time

period for the cognitive revolution to include artistic humans

living in the Middle Paleolithic.

And what about the Neanderthals? Recent finds in Spain  from about 120,000 to 64,000 years ago show that they  created cave paintings and made beads out of shells,  too. This was long before the arrival of Homo sapiens in  this region

Ours was the ONLY human species to survive. This is absolute language because it exaggerates that we were literally the ONLY human species left.

In the Upper or late Paleolithic era, art took on more religious and symbolic representations
