We also  can see that the African  art is based as I said before  on  humans but not only on humans we also can see that African art is based also on masks which  have unique shapes  also the  humans have unique shapes and forms and are natural as well.

The African sculpture were found in Nigeria which are dated around 500BC these were the earliest sculpture that were found and these all is said  by the studies that  was made.

The rock art was the earliest art in Africa where it was known from the human evolutionary science which is the modern Homo sapiens that began in Africa. Africa contained both the oldest and also the greatest amount of rock art. The oldest images  that  we can  see was  scientifically dates and are  in  Namibia the Apollo 11 caves that are about 24-27,000 years ago.
