Respuesta :

Answer:

I and II only

Explanation:

Most early cave paintings depict animals. It's believed that humans painted animals because they depended on them for food; that they painted before hunting as a spell that would weaken the prey. Examples of such paintings exist in Altamira and Lascaux caves.

In the caves in Altamira, animals are painted in shades of red, brown, and black, and the largest one represents a bison. Bison were hunted for food, skin, bones, and fur.

The walls of caves in Lascaux have bison, deer, horses, and cattle painted on them. Some of the figures are simply outlined in black, while others are filled in with bright earth colors.

There are no early cave paintings in Willendorf, but this location is famous because of Venus of Willendorf, a figurine of Venus discovered there. This figurine is believed to have been a fertility idol carried by the men on their hunt.
