They are letting the most important work of art in the world rot

Fungus at Lascaux. There will probably come a time when the ability to abstract reality to create art will be what defines humans as different from chimps. It is already accepted among a buncha athropologists that there is a difference between "phyically" modern humans and "behaviorally" modern humans. We were "human" for about 50,000 years before we started acting like it. The caves at Lascaux are among the first things that mark the difference.
