Art, science and design started with the cavemen.

[Rebirth01]

History has it that,art, science and design started with the cavemen. Before the new science that is in place today, science has started long ago with the cavemen. They were actually doing well for themselves. They produce what to eat, produce tools, produce jewelries and the famous fire for cooking and warming up themselves. Indeed science actually started with the cavemen and the modern man only modernized and grew it.

I'm always surprised that people in modern deserts are living above the ground, as the temperature is pretty much perfect in basements and caves already. It would be more sophisticated to live in a cave than a basement in those areas. People actually pay tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of $USD or $EUR over their lives to have windows, an expense that people can no longer bear with our collapsing economies around the world.

Certainly it's a more civilized lifestyle than any communist, socialist, or fascist lifestyle, to in a cave, than in one of their dystopias. A cave is a good place for free-market capitalism to flourish. Certainly I'd rather be raised in a cave man than any socialist, communist, or fascist country. All three of those societies have something in common, thinking that two wrongs can make a right. Socialism,  communism, and fascism all believe that taking other people's property without permission (stealing via taxation) can make a right via "greater good" of the result, but one thing they've never done is shown positive result compared to countries that avoid that as a matter of moral values, as respect for liberties, rights, and freedoms.

I agree that it all started years back, but science then is nowhere close to science now.

The advancement in science and technology has increased beyond human imagination. The presence of artificial intelligence is proof.

50 years from now, what will exist will be even much greater, but unfortunately many of us here wont be alive to see those changes.

That's not history, or the beginnings of science. Calling it such some groups of people making science fiction because they are afraid to believe what the Bible says. After the Beginning, after Adam and Eve sinned, climate was so gentle that people didn't live in caves... for a while. And people were very intelligent, because they were near perfect, and wouldn't have lived in caves first. They would have 'built' shelters out of plants/trees if they had any at all.

Cave art mostly appeared later - even though science misinterprets carbon dating - some art being graffiti with or without people living in the caves. "Caveman," as a modern term, distorts what a true cave living person really was... and this is because you can find people living in caves right now.

However, it's about the art. People around the world make their own art right now. Kids in school draw on paper with pencil and crayon. Most people doodle a little at times, in the margins or elsewhere.

It's all 'cave-art' because it is simply unprofessional art. There probably wasn't any formal getting together of people thousands of years ago just to draw art in caves. Yet, modern historians try to make it sound that way, sort of.

You talk a lot about science and the Bible, but you have absolutely no virtue nor do you have any respect for science at all.

Credit should be given to the cavemen for they are the people who started what is now. They may not have the machines used now or manufacture bombs, electronics,cars cell phones etc. but they are the first people to lit fire,the first people to set traps, have the knowledge to sew and wear things to cover their when the weather gets cold, prepare weapons for hunting. If they had cameras and video coverage to record all their achievements the world would have  respected their efforts in trying to modernize their lives in their own way. There is no way you compare this modern world of science to that of the cavemen but we should give them some flowers

Except that people are living in caves all around the world, right now. Search on it.

The idea of 'cavemen' is connected to an unknown, and mostly fiction story, that people of the distant past were somehow less intelligent than we are. It's the other way around. They were more intelligent.

The reason why they left records in caves is because they were gradually, generation to generation, losing their general broad memory that each of them had. This caused them to not remember things that everybody knew back then. So, they started leaving cave records.

It wasn't long until they figured out writing, built great cities (Sumerians and Akkadians and before), and started spreading around the world.

There is no proof for the 'evolution style' type of cave people. Even the idea of hundreds of thousands of years of world history barely hangs on as an idea that is provable. Search on 'young earth age'. Standard ideas of an old age earth are science fiction. We have been lied to by 'scientists' who talk about these things.

Cave people of today are still drawing art an science in caves. The difference is that they are often influenced by modern technology, so that they know some of the science.
