Centaurs in Australia and South Africa

Archeologists have discovered rock paintings depicting strange creatures and called them therianthrops, hybrids of humans and animals.

Researchers believe that ancient artists made the painting from life.

Paul Takon from the Australian Museum in Sydney and anthropologist Christopher Chippendale from the University of Cambridge say that such hybrids, including centaurs, were highly likely living side by side with primitives.

In Australia and South Africa, the researchers discovered dozens of rock paintings showing animals with human heads and humans with animal heads that may be over 32 thousand years old.
