In fact, even in advance of cave paintings, Homo sapiens almost certainly found his first artistic outlet in a bit of stamping and stomping, which was the earliest form of dance, eventually accompanied by rhythmic chanting and drumming from which developed music. He begins with a section on primitive people, whose artistic themes revolved around the animal world and hunting, as seen in cave paintings.
