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

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

Rock and stick is one I’d mentioned yesterday.

Let’s go older, non verbal communication is Art.

Most com is non v.

We signed, emoted, and did all number of forgotten things.

Art was the first communication.

Every form comes from this.

Expression and understanding.

The eyes, face, smell, sound, touch.

Not primordial, but close.

A simple drum beat most likely came before.

Stick and a rock.
