Wikipedia, April 4, 2008: (cavemen: popular stock character based upon stereotyped concepts of the way in which early prehistoric humans or homininans may have looked and behaved; often shown as living in caves; but this stemmed from the ritual paintings found in caves: it is more probable that the caves were religious gathering places or temporary shelter, and not the actual dwellings of the supposed "cavemen")
