Judging from their astonishing paintings and engraved images of animals on the walls of European caves, people have been making pictures for at least thirty millennia. In contrast, attempts by scientists and artists of our own day to make credible likenesses of the cave painters and their more remote evolutionary antecedents go back a mere 150 years. In fact, scientific evidence for prehistoric humans was not generally recognized much before then.
Artists and scientists work to recreate Faces of the Human Past.

I've always wondered. What with only fossil bones as evidence. How do they know the cavemen were hairy? That dinos had lizard skin?
Dilihat dari lukisan mereka yang menakjubkan dan gambar ukiran hewan di dinding gua-gua Eropa, orang-orang telah membuat gambar setidaknya selama tiga puluh milenium. Sebaliknya, upaya para ilmuwan dan seniman di zaman kita sendiri untuk membuat persamaan yang dapat dipercaya dari para pelukis gua dan anteseden evolusioner mereka yang lebih situs prediksi bola jauh hanya terjadi selama 150 tahun. Faktanya, bukti ilmiah untuk manusia prasejarah pada umumnya tidak dikenal banyak sebelumnya.
