in their fossilized form . This type of activity enabled humans , being the predator , to become more competitive with the other predators in the field . They learned to observe and understand the behavior of their preys while getting more meat because of this strategy . Shipman also added that humans who dealt with their competitors contributed in the evolutionary advances in terms of natural selection

She explained that this is a factor in evolving language as a way of communicating through the use of signs and symbols . It is very evident in ancient artworks that portray animals and other possible crucial topics such as water , tools and weapons . Shipman views this imbalance as a proof that there is an evolutionary proof as a mean of storing and conveying information through the use of symbols .
