Recent analysis of prehistoric Spanish cave art has revealed that it was Neanderthals who created it. The cave art, which dates back over 60,000 years, was made on a huge stalagmite (a column that rises up from the floor of a cave) located 100 meters (328 feet) into Cueva de Ardales which is close to Málaga, Spain. Pillars of mineral deposited by water formed a dome-like shape and the markings were found inside of folded rock that looked like drawn curtains.
The markings were done with a red pigment that was made from ocher and were deliberately painted. The ocher, which is a natural pigment that is found in clay, would have been found elsewhere and brought to the cave by the artist. In fact, the ocher would have been “…collected, transported and prepared in advance of entering the cave, implying deliberation and planning, which are additionally implied by the need to have adequate lighting,” explained João Zilhão who is an ICREA (Catalan Institution for Research and Advanc

Whether Neanderthals thought symbolically and had an artistic sensibility has been a question that has vexed experts in human evolution.
But evidence is mounting that our Stone Age cousins were our cognitive equals and created forms of art in Europe long before Homo sapiens were on the scene.
A new study of a rock feature stained red in a cave in southern Spain has concluded that the red pigment made from ocher was intentionally painted, most likely by Neanderthals, refuting earlier research that said the red marks were natural.
