This is a complicated question, so here's an oversimplified answer.

They are not related.

This has nothing to do with the morals and ethics of art, but graffiti relates more to vandalizing and putting your name out for others to see. Many people tie graffiti and tagging together, while others see the two art forms as distinct- that is another issue entirely.

This is oversimplifying what graffiti is and what graffiti artists stand for, but it can be looked at as a rebellious action. It is an action against authority and a movement of free expression.

Whereas cave paintings are an ancient art form. It was not about rebelling against an establishment. It is thought to be a sacred practice that took place thousands of years ago.

The only similarities they both have is that they are on walls. Other than that NOT THE SAME.
