Cave drawings and writing

As we write something everyday, we really never think about how language came to exist. We just write and we do not look at cave drawings as a legit form of communication. We just see cave drawings as early paintings, almost doodle like yet I find that stuff to be almost amazing. I see it as a language and a form of continuing to standardize a symbol as definition. It is an amazing concept to me and I think it is as important as writing. Writing definitely is an advanced form but sometimes the simpler thing is much more beautiful. Make the judgement for yourself.
