If correct, it suggests these early human settlers in Europe understood far more about the positioning of the stars than we could have suspected. These dots, scientists suggest, represent a bright cluster of stars that form part of constellation Taurus, which hangs in the night sky above Europe during the winter. Above the shoulder of one bull are a series of seven dots that suggest these early human artworks hide a starry secret. They were left there by a prehistoric artist around 40,000 years ago. Daubed on the rough walls of a cave in southwestern France are magnificent paintings of wild cattle, bison, horses and birds.
