Lascoux Cave Paintings & how it relates to the people
1a) These cave paintings depicted major aspects of their lives. Their paintings primarily consisted of animals, which were a main source of food for them and it was who those humans shared their habitat with. Some of these animals may have also held religious significance in rituals or prayers, so painting them could have been a way of expressing their religion. 1b) The humans knew themselves and their community but were surrounded by countless species of animals that the humans had no way of communicating with. They shared the land as their home, but there was no significant connection between the animals and humans other than that. The paintings of the animals could have been a way for the humans to feel on the same level as the animals, as the animals now watched over them as they slept and life progressed. 1c) These cave paintings showed how their social structure worked, as the thousands of paintings across the cave were likely created by nearly every person in the community.
