Cave etchings discovered in France are thought to have been made by prehistoric children.
The "finger flutings" were found along with other artwork in the Cave of a Hundred Mammoths and are thought to be 13,000 years old. "We have found marks by children aged between three and seven years old - and we have been able to identify four individual children by matching up their marks," said archaeologist Jess Cooney.Prehistoric etchings found in a cave in France are the work of children as young as three, according to research. The so-called finger flutings were discovered at the Cave of a Hundred Mammoths in Rouffignac, alongside cave art dating back some 13,000 years.
