Solution

The early humans painted on cave walls to express their feelings, depict their lives, events and their daily activities. Hunting wild animals and gathering food for their survival was the most important activity. The early humans made paintings that show animals struck by arrows and spears because they used to hunt animals with the use of these weapons. The paintings help us to understand their way of life and how they survived.
