This is what I've been saying non-stop for 4 years. We still haven't caught up to what we've lost as a civilization by allowing predatory corps to steal, plagiarize and turn a profit on the creativity that was given freely by extraordinary humans. It's criminal.

Around 40,000 years ago, someone carved a human body with the head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. Found in Germany’s Hohlenstein-Stadel Cave, the 31 cm-tall Lion Man is among the oldest known figurative artworks—and proof that imagination has very ancient roots.
