I also think that most of the paleolithic "Venus" figurines from 20,000 years ago or so and before represent Neanderthal females, not modern type homo sapiens women, based upon head morphology and body proportions. Some time after that, around 15,000 years ago, the figurines change drastically in their form to become like the Engen venus - just a suggestion of something that Pablo Picasso would have thought might be vaguely feminine, but which normal folk can't find a feminine form in anywhere, no more so than a Nike swoosh is a picture of a woman.
That makes me wonder WHY apparently modern folk were running around making images of the women of a dying species, and what happened at the 15k year ago mark that suddenly changed all of that.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
