Cave paintings have been dated in different parts of the world to at least 30,000 BCE

Step-by-step explanation

The Chauvet Cave in France contains the earliest cave paintings that date back to early 30,000BCE as per radiocarbon dating. Mass-spectrometric radiocarbon dating is the technique applied in dating cave art. This method can push back the dates of old cave art to at least 40,000 years ago.
