The nature of man is to express

The urge to create art & literature as an expression of the self is one of the hallmarks of Homo Sapiens.
About 35,000 years ago, the Aurignacians of southern Germany created ivory statuettes with both naturalistic & stylized features. 27,000 years ago, in the Cosquer caves, we find the painted outline of a man’s hand next to a cave painting. This is the first claim of Authorship.
Thirty thousand years later, nothing has changed about man’s nature. We still must express ourselves through our creations, and claim credit for them.
My only question is “How much mammoth meat did the artist charge for his painting?” - MJD
