The “creative explosion”

Homo sapiens, who appeared in Africa two hundred thousand years ago, began to demonstrate:

  1. Abstract thinking
  2. Excellent planning ability
  3. Behavioral, economic, and technical inventiveness
  4. The ability to use symbols

Forty thousand years ago, they arrived in Europe, and made numerous ornamental objects. This is referred to as the “creative explosion,” or a “socio-cultural big bang.”
