Origins of art and artistic thought

Around 3 million years ago our early ancestors collected and valued objects for their appearance. This pebble was perhaps picked up by an Australopithecus africanus because its natural shape suggests a face. Objects like this identify South Africa as one of the places where modern human behaviour began.

Our ability to think and act using symbols – and to make art as a result – is an integral part of being human.
