Researchers say the cave drawings, dated to around 44,000 years, may represent the capacity for religious or spiritual thinking.
A team led by Maxime Aubert and Adam Brumm, both from Australia's Griffith University, first found the rock art in 2017. During a rock art survey of the limestone caves in in south Sulawesi, one of the researchers noticed what appeared to be the entrance to a cave higher up that had never been seen before. He climbed up and across what Brumm describes as a"sheer cliff face" before entering the unexplored cave.
Before this find, the oldest known rock art dated to about 40,000 years ago and is also found in Indonesia. The earliest examples of images depicting humans and animals interacting are found in cave art in Europe. These date to between 21,000 and 14,000 years ago.Adam Brumm, Ratno Sardi and Adhi Agus Oktaviana

Zoologists Discover New Fastest Land Animal After Pumping White-Tailed Deer Full Of SteroidsMADISON, WI—Shedding new light on the now-500-pound forest-dwelling antlered ungulant, zoologists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison announced the discovery of a new fastest land animal Friday after systematically subjecting a white-tailed deer to a regimen of specially tailored anabolic steroids. “Some cheetahs can temporarily reach a speed as high as 75 mph, which for much of history made them the fastest terrestrial mammal. Well, that was yesterday—we got an eight-point buck jacked to the gills on PEDs to blow those fucking kittycats right out of the water,” said wildlife biologist Dr. Richard McCann, whose 18-month research project and high-intensity fast-twitch-fiber-building synthetic hormone project has proven his theory that a deer whose testosterone output was increased by a factor of 30 could potentially break the national interstate speed limit. “The Odocoileus virginianus was never forced to evolve outright speed as a means of catching prey like the pronghorn or the wildebeest, so it maxed out around 30 mph. But once we got this little guy juicing, his hind legs alone gained over 40 pounds of pure muscle mass with less than 1 percent body fat. We got him leaving gazelles in the goddamn dust.” The white-tail easily broke the 85-mph goal set by McCann, reaching a top speed of 86.3 mph before developing several mood disorders, heart disease, testicular cancer, kidney failure, hypertension, and suffering frequent uncontrollable bouts of aggression and violence.
