Stone Face

BBCnews is carrying this article summarizing a new archeological find that could, maybe, put to rest the question of whether Neandertals created art. A worked stone artifact that seems to have deliberately been modified to look like a face was found in the Loire river valley as part of a Neandertal campsite. However, at 35,000 years old, it's still just possible the artifact was in fact early modern. But it is an interesting find. With picture!
