Flutterby™! : Furries have history

I remember at some point coming to (falsely) believe that the Venus of Willendorf was the oldest clearly anthropomorphic sculpture that could be attributed to human activity. Recently I learned that the Löwenmensch figurine, also called the Lion-man of Hohlenstein-Stadel, predates it by a lot.

Via Rabbit @ra6bit@infosec.exchange who points out that:

Fun fact: The oldest statue made by human beings ever discovered, the Lion-man of Hohlenstein-Stadel, is an anthropomorphic cat.

By current evidence, furry art is literally the oldest form of art that still exists, and arguably all visual arts are descended from it.
