28. Sorry. Neanderthals did not make cave paintings.

That was Homo sapiens sapiens.

Neanderthals had art of some sort, but there are no known cave paintings.

And human ancestors also mated with chimp ancestors for a while. Hot monkey love!

(N.B., I know chimps are apes and not monkeys. But who can resist the phrase, Hot monkey love.)
