Oldest Known Sculpture

From a cave in southwestern Germany, archaeologists have unearthed the oldest known piece of figurative art. More than an ancient artistic impulse, it may signify a profound change in modern human brains.

Done?
Okay, so they find a 30,000 year old product of the human artistic impulse (which is about 30,000 years older than some willfully ignorant and superstitious products of the same genetic line think the world is), and what is it?
Porn.
No, don't give me any "fertility goddess" crap. There are perfectly good fertility goddesses with perfectly normal (if somewhat idealized) figures. Nope - this one's some caveman's masturbation fantasy, I can practically guarantee it. Besides, if memory serves, 36,000 years ago, we hadn't gotten into the whole agriculture thing yet, which as far as I know is pretty much a prerequisite to have an Inanna or Astarte.
