NeanderthalsThese artistic innovators were probably Neanderthals. Dated to 65,000 years ago, the cave paintings and shell beads are the first works of art dated to the time of Neanderthals, and they include the oldest cave art ever found

Explanation:

Which hominids created art? The first human artist on Earth is believed to have drew on a cave wall with red ochre over 65,000 years ago, as a Neanderthal reached out and drew on it. There is no evidence that the modern human is the only species to express itself through art, as is widely believed.
