The oldest known drawing, a simple cross-hatched pattern etched on a stone from Blombos Cave in South Africa, is about 73,000 years old, created by early Homo sapiens and predating cave paintings by tens of thousands of years, which suggests that abstract thinking and symbolic expression emerged much earlier in human evolution than previously thought.
