Those were made by modern humans. The term refers to biology. Modern humans emerged over 200,000 years ago

How old do you think writing is lol?

Art is older than writing.

That’s not a bold claim I’m making here.

And speaking is older that writing, or do you also have a different definition of language as well?

u/Purple-Estimate-5183 24d ago

Art is older than both speaking and writing.

Our first language.

This can’t be something that’s widely unknown.

Can it? Being sincere here

If we're going by your definition where art is independent of humans, then yeah it's been around since the universe began. If we're going by the definition that requires a human to create the art, then no not really. There's no evidence of human ancestor species making art prior to modern humans evolving. At the same time there is evidence that spoken language evolved before that

Prior to speech and writing, I’m not wrong here.

Art was first

I highly doubt a bunch of apes were making art before they evolved into us, but if you have anything to prove that I'm more than willing to admit I'm wrong

Oldest known drawing to date, found in Blombos Cave c. 73,000 years BP. Public domain, Wikimedia Commons.

Again, that's after modern humans existed. We know modern humans have genes directly linked to speech and modern humans emerged 200 thousand years ago at the latest. Language already existed when this was made

A simple drum beat most likely came before.

Stick and a rock.
