Did early modern humans paint?

The Neanderthals painted caves and carved. Artwork among earlier hominid species is not known. The Denisovans apparently wore jewelry, indicating they engaged in artwork. They died out about ten thousand years earlier than the Neandertal (so far as is known). Homo floresiensis also likely engaged in artwork. This diminutive people inhabited what is now Indonesia, and survived up until about 20,000 years ago, ten thousand years longer than the Neandertal. Although floresiensis brains were very small, their tools were fairly sophisticated, and they cooked stegodon meat. [Stegodons are an extinct breed of elephant--NOT a dinosaur. Humans and dinosaurs never coexisted.] It is very likely the hobbit people engaged in art, though few if any examples of this have survived.
