Prehistoric Eastern Art

 

Anthropologists conjecture, not without dispute, that the first man appeared in Africa and migrated North into Europe and East into the Mid-East and from there to India and China and over a land bridge into Alaska and the Americas. This happened quite early maybe 500 centuries before Christ.

Here are some early Chinese artifacts.
