The human species is only one among existing on Earth, and like all known life forms is
subject to the laws of evolution. This implies that the man appeared sometime in the past
as a result of progressive adaptive changes that generate new storylines and the
disappearance tripping over themselves to others. The question about the antiquity of our
race and origin has no simple answer. What we know of the process of humanization that
has led us to be what we are, it is based on a long and winding path of discovery and
spread over time hypothesis. The science that is paleontology, however, in recent
decades, new disciplines such as genetics, among others, have been very helpful in
tracing the origin of mankind.

It is estimated that the evolutionary branch leading to modern humans, chimpanzees split
made between 5 and 7 million years. Between now and makes about 4 million years
showed the ability to move straight, made fundamental in the process of humanization.
The first bipedal hominids were safely upright locomotion are Australopithecus
(Australopithecus), this species appeared and thriving with great success in the wooded
savannahs of eastern Africa 4 million years ago, and some specimens are preserved
skeletons in very good condition. He disappeared 2.5 million years ago, perhaps it was
due to desertification of the savannah, however, within this genre at least 5 different
species scattered from Ethiopia and Chad to South Africa. Environmental stress, caused
two large groups of Australopithecus, vegetarians specialized in hard products of poor
nutritional value, and carnivores, which led to the first individuals of the genus Homo.

Dibujo en la cueva de Lascaux

You can see in this painting The art of Cro-Magnon part of the first artists of
humanity. Indeed, when visiting the caves we realize the monumental work and
special techniques that had Cro-Magnon. In which mixed painting techniques,
drawing techniques, engraving techniques, sculpture techniques as the support
on which he worked.
The colors that were used in the cave paintings were of natural origin, various
materials were found, sometimes by chance and could be minerals, plants,
animals and even human fluid products.
You can see lots of animals drawn on strategic sites
 The scene shows us the testimony of a past too distant for us to imagine.
Perhaps this fascination is that we are aware that these drawings were made
by humans but are too "natural", as if they had sprung from the same surface of
the rock.
