Cave paintings give scientists (and anyone interested in the human species) an insight into the way that cave-dwellers thought, even though it was tens of thousands of years ago. Cave paintings show that people in that time period planned out hunts, had a sense of self image and self-importance, communicated abstract concepts, had (perhaps) the beginnings of a mythology. Cave paintings do the same things for us that (for instance) the Diary of Anne Frank did: give us a way to see something that we would otherwise not know anything about.
