The prehistoric period in the early development of human beings is commonly known as the Old Stone Age or the Palaeolithic Age.The richest paintings are reported from the Vindhya ranges of Madhya Pradesh and their Kaimurean extensions into Uttar Pradesh.These hill ranges are full of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic remains.It is interesting to know that the first discovery of rock paintings was made in India in 1867–68 by an archaeologist, Archibold Carlleyle, twelve years before the discovery of Altamira in Spain.
