Have Europeans been the most creative people for thousands of years?

The image is of European cave art from 30,000 to 35,000 years ago. There are thousands of European cave drawings of such quality, from the same time. I don't think anything like this, comes close, from any other non European culture for tens of thousands of years.

it's because of the climate, we have to constantly adapt to harsh conditions, this makes us creative.

War and raiding in Europe forced smaller tribes to get creative to defend themselves. Survival depended on it. The ones that didn't think of the ingenious idea may have perished

WHERE IN THE FUCK DID YOU FIND THIS? IT'S NO WONDER WE'RE DESPISED....this isn't art, this is way beyond that....this is an abstract schematic, what detail, it keeps me studying it...I've got 15 animals, these people were well traveled to see these different animals....bears, a wolf, lions, 2 birds, a snake, and probably more...incredible....good post...have an upper.

Why are the images always facing left?

To not smudge the face. Also shows they too were mostly right handed.

Huh.
That makes sense.

They're facing left probably because the natural process of print is "left to right", right to left is backwards...but really, you should be beaten severely within a half heartbeat from expiration...redeem yourself with a personalized "toe tag" with your last words on the back being..."why in the fuck did I ask such a rancid question like that"?
