In this photo taken on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2016 Omar Hassan walks past his creations "Breaking Through" in his studio in Milan, Italy. When he creates art work, Omar Hassan doesn’t get out paint brushes. He gets out his boxing gloves. Hassan, a 29-year-old artist and boxer, has combined his two passions, with the goal to bring the disciplines closer. Hassan, born in Milan to an Italian mother and Egyptian father, creates the works by dipping his glove in paint, and punching the canvas stretched over cardboard to keep it from breaking. He calls the series ‘’Breaking Through Milano’’ His paintings sell from 8,000 to 40,000 euros, which he calls ‘’a great satisfaction, but not the goal.’’ (AP Photo/Antonio Calanni) (AP)

This undated handout photo provided by Nature Magazine shows stencils of hands in a cave in Indonesia. Ancient cave drawings in Indonesia are as old as famous prehistoric art in Europe, according to a new study that shows our ancestors were drawing all over the world 40,000 years ago. And it hints at an even earlier dawn of creativity in modern humans, going back to Africa, than scientists had thought. (AP/Kinez Riza, Nature Magazine)
