I saw a video by Joe Scott in which he asked the question, what was the earliest depiction of a human face? Because it’s a weirdly recent phenomenon; prehistoric cave paintings are full of animals and silhouettes of human hands, but rarely any humans at all and if so only as rudimentary stick figures, nowhere near as well drawn as the animals. There are extremely few depictions of human faces that predate the invention of writing. Those “Venus” statues are practically always headless or, like the one shown above, has an abstract nub where the head should be.
