About 43,000 years ago, a Neanderthal person in Spain came across a large granite stone with an odd resemblance to an elongated face. He defaced it by dipping one of his/her fingers in red pigment and pressed it on, exactly where the nose on that face would have been. An ancient act of wanton graffiti. Who done it!
