No, I am not referring to the "Han Solo vs Geedo" debate, rather did Europeans first engage in cave painting or did the Indonesians? Oh, you didn't know? Seems that dating of cave drawings on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi are as old or older than the oldest cave drawings in Europe. But don't take my word for it, here's an article (plus video) about it in the Christian Science Monitor: http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2014/1008/Indonesian-cave-art-oldest-hand-stencil-yet-discovered-video
And here's a version on it in the "National Geographic": http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/10/141008-cave-art-sulawesi-hand-science/ And here's the original research article in "Nature": http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v514/n7521/full/nature13422.html However, no one has asked the question that Stephen Colbert asked of Werner Herzog when he was on his show promoting his movie "The Cave of Forgotten Dreams": Paraphrasing Colbert: "How could a cave painting be 32,000 years old if the entire world is only 6,000 years old?" For the interview, see: http://www.vulture.com/2011/06/watch_werner_herzog_completely.html And, yes, Herzog was "The Zec" in "Jack Reacher". -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] P.S.
