Scientists have discovered a painting of three human figures surrounding a large pig in a cave on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Using a new technique that involves laser-sampling tiny pieces of the pigment for analysis, they have dated the work to 51,200 years old, 5,000 years older than the oldest known cave painting.
