Why did early man paint in caves?

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.


When did humans stop living in caves and start building houses?

They never lived in caves as a complete race. Some people lived in caves as so do today - Gran Canaria for example. Atheists and scientists would like us to believe that man was a hunter/gatherer for a million if not hundred of thousands of years. This is not so. Why would a man walk miles to hunt for meat or vegetables when it would have been much easier to heard animals and breed them or plant vegetables where he lived - right outside the cave for some, lol. Is it only in the last few thousand years of existence that it has dawned on man that he can farm. I don't think so.


What made it possible for the caves and human made structures to have a source of light and heat?

Caves could have a source of natural light through openings or cracks in the cave walls or ceilings, allowing sunlight to filter through. As for human-made structures, early humans used fire to provide both light and heat. They would light torches, lamps, or fires in fire pits to illuminate and warm their surroundings.
