Curvy 'Venus' May be Oldest Human Sculpture
CURVY 'VENUS' MAY BE OLDEST HUMAN SCULPTURE
A 35,000-year-old ivory carving of a curvaceous woman found in a German cave is believed to be the oldest known sculpture of the human form.
Archaeologists found the carving in six fragments in Germany's Hohle Fels cave, near Schelklingen. It depicts a woman with protruding breasts, a swollen belly and wide-set thighs.

Carbon dating suggests the 60-millimetre-long figurine - dubbed the Venus of Hohle Fels - was carved at least 35,000 years ago and suggests Palaeolithic art to be more complex than many had thought
According to the researchers' findings, which are being published in the scientific journal Nature, it may be the oldest piece of its kind yet discovered.
"It's the oldest known piece of figurative sculpture in the world," said Jill Cook, a curator of Paleolithic and Mesolithic material at the British Museum in London.
The discovery predates the well-known Venuses from the Gravettian culture by at least 5,000 years and radically changes our views of the context and meaning of the earliest Palaeolithic art," Conard wrote.
"Before this discovery ... female imagery was entirely unknown."
The figurine's enlarged breasts, bloated belly and thighs also make clear that sexual symbolism was alive and well tens of thousand of years ago, Paul Mellars of the University of Cambridge, wrote in a commentary.
"The feature of the newly discovered figure that will undoubtedly command most attention is its explicitly, almost aggressively, sexual nature,...
