Informational text
Art
between 30,000 and 37,000 years old. That means they were the oldest human cave drawings known at the time of the discovery.
"The discovery of the long-hidden artwork created a sensation, but the site was quickly closed to the public [It is very important]. Just by breathing, tourists could erode the images."
Shelter
"They lived inside cave entrences while others built huts in forested areas. Long houses made of stone blocks were also used for communities of 30 to 100 people. "
Dogs
"Some 7,000 of the panels’ carvings depict interactions between humans and animals, including numerous livestock and at least 349 dogs."
"dogs are often shown helping humans on hunts. They bite at the necks of ibexes and gazelles. They form a menacing circle around an Equid. Some even square off against a lion. Intriguingly, some images appear to show the dogs tethered to their masters’ waists. This suggests that they are leashed — and that “humans mastered the art of training and controlling dogs thousands of years earlier than previously thought,"
-
Food
"cook food with fire and preserve meat with smoke. Cooking made food taste better and easier to swallow. This was important for those without teeth!"
"They probably ate vegetables and gathered seeds, fruits, nuts and other edible plants. Later, scientists speculate, meat was added to the diet as small animals were hunted. Eventually, humans hunted large animals."

Tools, Technology
"There is heavy debate as to exactly when humans first controlled the use of fire. If early humans controlled it, how did they start a fire? We do not have firm answers, but they may have used pieces of flint stones banged together to created sparks. They may have rubbed two sticks together generating enough heat to start a blaze. Conditions of these sticks had to be ideal for a fire."
"Learning how to sharpen a flint, attach a flint to a piece of wood to create a spear, then understanding how to use flint on other pieces of wood to create digging tools were all technological leaps."
