Anorexic thin females may be the in thing in Hollywood and the fashion industry.. but they wouldnt have inspired our ancestors \u2013 the cavemen. They liked their women.. well.. full-bodied! Voluptuous women have been loved through the ages as depicted on the temples of Khajuraho or the Ajanta and Ellora or European art of the caveman:<\/p>\n

\n

In the paper, Schild and colleagues Bodil Bratlund, Else Kolstrup and Jan Fiedorczuk describe the carvings as \"stylized voluptuous female outlines\" that \"are cut out of flint flakes.\"<\/p>\n

The same symbolic representations of women displayed in the artifacts extend across Europe, added Schild, a researcher in the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Polish Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n

Because the site, near the Polish village of Wilczyce, served as a late autumn\/early winter hunting camp, it is likely men created the figurines when they were taking breaks from hunting arctic foxes, woolly rhinoceros and other game.<\/p>\n

Most of the carvings show a slight curve in the breast area. Very exaggerated curves depict the buttocks, while tiny rounded tops served as heads. One figure\u2019s head was, at one point, polished and retouched.<\/p>\n

Examination of the flint artifacts under high magnification revealed they were in \"mint\" condition with no signs of use as tools.<\/p>\n

The book The Nature of Paleolithic Art<\/em> by R. Dale Guthrie contains images of nearly identical renderings. It seems shapely women also inspired stone carvings and cave art, some of which date to 35,000 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
