Scientists Think Too Much!

Women are nesters.  I really believe that God made us that way.  I've always wondered a little about a woman that doesn't like to fix up her home and have things nice for her family.  That having been said I think that scientists think too much!  In my Art History courses in college we studied cave man drawings as that is considered the first art of mankind.  There are all these theories behind the drawings.  Scientists say that was how they communicated with each other from different tribes as they spoke different languages.  They also think that they were commemorating an important event or history making episodes. Sort of like we would erect a statue at the sight of something we want to honor or remember. I think they have it all wrong.  I guarantee some cave woman was sitting around her "home" one day looking at the same old walls and decided she needed a change.  After she had her husband rearrange the rocks and leaf pallets about a hundred times and then she decided that she liked them better the way they were originally, she saw that big blank space on the wall above the rocks.  "It's just missing something; I'm not sure what."  Maybe if we had a big picture drawn on the wall that is full of life and pretty colors it would look better!"  She and her husband argued awhile over the fact that he thought the wall looked great just like it was.  Then he decided if he didn't put a picture up on the wall that he would never hear the end of it.  Men being the males that they are didn't think of a bowl of flowers or anything like that.  They had just been out hunting for food that day and started drawing the hunt and warriors.  When he was done the wife liked it so much she had him draw on other walls of the cave.  Next thing you knew her friends were coming over for morning "grog" and they were going home and telling their husbands that they just HAD to have a picture above the bed like their neighbor had and that was all there was to it.  Everyone started decorating their homes and the women just kept on finding more ways to beautify things.  "It's a little bare by the opening of the cave.  Couldn't we dig up some plants in the woods and kind of set them out around the front.  It would be so much more welcoming." Yep, scientists definitely think too much.
