It is believed the more advanced and taller ( they averaged six feet plus) Cro-Magnon Men pioneered artwork and indeed even had art schools in some more habitable caves, now we do talk of artist"s dens, right, and watch out for those Cave Lions and Bears, yiiikees- artist can be a hazardous job- My spear, apprentice artist..
Neanderthals and early humans lived in parallel, and both no doubt would have used any convenient cave as a home. I don't know what they did when they were far from any caves - presumably made shelters from tree-branches, animals skins and suchlike.
I don't think anyone knows.From their scanty fossil records they were probably as intelligent and emotional as their parallel species Homo Sapiensis -but they left no evidence of any art of craftwork they might have created.

You can't determine that because "Cave Men" (& women) wereonly so because they happened to live in areas that hold caves suitable for them to use. Human use of caves as dwellings certainly goes back into the Palaeolithic, and both earlyhumans and our parallel species, Neanderthals, used caves if available.
Early man painted in caves as a way to communicate their stories, beliefs, and daily experiences. The cave paintings served as a form of expression, record-keeping, and possibly as a way to connect with the spiritual world. Additionally, the dark environments of caves may have provided a suitable canvas for painting.
