is it valid to refer to the makapansgat pebble as an artwork
Makapansgat pebble The Makapansgat pebble cannot be seen as art if a usual definition of the term is used, as the object was found and not made. Nevertheless that an Australopithecus may have recognized a face would reveal that the early hominid had some sort of capacity for symbolic thinking, necessary for the development of art and language.[1] If the early hominid has seen this object really as a face, or had magical speculations towards this object or just enjoyed the pebble remains unclear.
