   how they behaved and thought. Thirty years ago, archaeologists talked of   
   a revolution marked by the sudden appearance of sophisticated art in   
   Europe – indication, it was said, of the arrival of the modern human   
   mind a mere 30 or 40,000 years ago. Evidence from the ground has since   
   shown such developments also occurred far beyond Europe, and over a   
   longer time span.   
      
   If early Homo sapiens evolved a million years ago, as this study   
   suggets, when did individuals start to make art? At what point did they   
   become ‘modern’ – and why? Could this have happened first in Asia,   
   rather than Europe or Africa, and again, if so, why? Sooner or later   
   we’ll get to answer such questions. Doing so will take us into a new,   
   deeper understanding of who we really are.
