Robbers Cave

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us.

Background:

Figurative cave paintings in Sulawesi are dated to at least 35,000 years ago.
Hand-stencil art from Sulawesi has a minimum date of 40,000 years ago.

Observation:

Uranium-series analysis of rock art in East Kalimantan, Borneo, reveals a figurative animal painting dated to at least 40,000 years ago.
Hand stencils from the same site are dated between 37,200 and 51,800 years ago.
Additional cave art motifs from four East Kalimantan caves provide a chronology for Pleistocene rock art production.

Findings:

The oldest figurative artwork globally, dated to at least 40,000 years ago, was found in Borneo.
Cave painting emerged in eastern Borneo between 52,000 and 40,000 years ago.
A distinct style of parietal art developed during the Last Glacial Maximum, around 21,000-13,600 years ago.

Implications:

A significant Paleolithic cave art province existed in eastern Eurasia and Wallacea from at least 40,000 years ago until the Last Glacial Maximum.
This discovery impacts our understanding of the emergence, development, and dispersal of early rock art traditions in Pleistocene Southeast Asia and beyond.
