@robinhood for those who will ask:
~500,000 years ago some pre-Sapien hominids in Zambia were making pigment intentionally. That is, by our understanding, the oldest evidence of human art because unless you're using the pigment For something, it's very unlikely you'd spend the time to Make it.
Plus there are some lines drawn in red ochre that are only a few 10s of thousands of years newer than the Zambia find.
