Being one of the earliest habitations, the Edakkal caves are window to so many queries about the evolution and way of life of human beings. The Edakkal caves in the Ambukuthi Hills in north Kerala provide answers to many queries and questions regarding our ancestors and their evolution. Inside the cave, one can find ancient stone scripts, pictorial wall inscriptions of human and animal figures with peculiar head dresses, the swastika form, symbols and cave drawings of human figures, bows, knives, wheels, trees etc. It is interesting to note that similar cave drawings, believed to be 7000 years old, are found only in Stiriya in the European Alps and a few places in Africa.
