Well, they did live in caves. If you are referring to the connotation that they were awful-looking and smelly (enough to make a giraffe puke Indian food into a the used diaper of a baby skunk), then you are correct. Smart, ugly, and smelly is possible. Interesting thread. I will change my thinking. Ugly and smelly people can be smart too.

The sad thing is, the cave was closed to everybody before she could investigate any further.
I smell suppression of secrets.

I just the imagine all that time they had to ponder the stars, to join the dots, to make up stories about the connections they made, to notice the planet and the skys above and to make sense that MADE sense...
its like we have to find out what they knew before we could ever go forward.

Not neccesarily true.
How do we know that they weren't looking back at the past as well?

Prophecy points to the future - True
In modern times we search for clues to the past - True
I don't dis-agree with you there. What I'm wondering about is, if our cavemen friends were giving us clues as to thier past. Kind of like, we came from this star system over here. Always remember that point in space, thats the homeworld. Or the stars were positioned here at this point before we enetered the time portal.

I have doubts on this one.
I am a layman.
But, it looks to me that the astronomer has tried to over lay the constellation map over the paintings and matched the shapes to the constellations.
This is like my son who sometimes lay watching the stars and connecting dots here and there and saying "Look Dad, there is an elephant"
This is just a hypothesis. Nothing more.
Where is the evidence that the Lascaux populations saw the same constellations as us or identified them with the same figures?
and the second point is that 'they' the Lascaux Populations are us.
