He began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world's best-known artists.

There’s every chance the team will uncover species of animals and plants not known to have existed in Scotland before. At the time, there were wolves, horses and bears in Scotland as well as reindeer. Mammoth were last in Scotland around 35-40,000 years ago. His real name is Robert Banks, a 32-year-old from Bristol, that cultural melting-pot of a port where graffiti art has a long heritage. In a highly critical judgment, the court found the applications were being made in bad faith. It was a similar finding to a September decision on Banksy’s trademark application for Love is in the Air. As ice sheets retreated, opening up Scotland, all these animals - bears, reindeer, wolves - would have been “pioneers into a new world too” along with the humans who depended on them. As the land warmed, “opportunities were revealed and animals and humans alike fill this space. It’s less about being brave and going into the unknown, and more about moving with the opportunities … You can also think of it in terms of this: if all your friends went somewhere wouldn’t you go there too?” This finely preserved example of primitive art dates from the Post-Catatonic era and is thought to depict early man venturing towards the out-of-town hunting grounds. The artist responsible is known to have created a substantial body of work across the South East of England under the moniker Banksymus Maximus but little else is known about him. Most art of this type has unfortunately not survived. The majority is destroyed by zealous municipal officials who fail to recognize the artistic merit and historical value of daubing on walls.”Archeologists found plenty of Stone Age tools from the Mesolithic over the years, but nothing from the much earlier Palaeolithic - seeming to confirm the hypothesis that humans didn’t arrive here until about 10,000 years ago. Artist Pete Brown was painting his own version of the scene when the freezer, which was believed to have been part of the installation, was removed on Tuesday morning. I always thought maybe someone might put a mural on the wall, but I was never expecting a Banksy," he said. This is the work of Banksy, the London-based so-called "art terrorist" whose current exhibition in Los Angeles has been making waves, in particular its centre-piece of a live elephant painted in a wallpaper design and housed in a building decorated with the same wallpaper.

Similarly, the elephant in the room in Los Angeles represents the failure to face the big issues that surround us. Last weekend this week, he smuggled an inflatable doll dressed as a Guantanemo Bay prisoner, into Disneyland in California, to highlight the plight of inmates there. The coincidence has fuelled the belief that our ancient ancestors exterminated Neanderthals, perhaps committing humanity’s first great crime of genocidal violence. However, Britton doesn’t hold to that opinion. Certainly, she doesn’t believe that we caused their extinction in an “intentional act”. There could well have been “inter-species aggression in the same way there was definitely inter-species affection. I’m sure there would have been combat, and that Neanderthals were just as capable as us of making enemies”. Del Naja was a graffiti artist before he formed the band, and though he has previously been identified as a “personal friend” of Banksy (who even stated he’s been heavily influenced in his art by 3D), could it all just be an elaborate, double-bluffing ruse? David Stewart, the principal of the Perth-based law firm Bennett & Co, which made the application for Banksy, declined to comment on the case. The exhibition features some of Banksy’s most famous works, including ‘Flower Thrower’, ‘Rude Copper’ and, of course, ‘Girl with Balloon’. But there will also be lesser-known works on display. Banky's recent Ukraine murals will be referenced, and there’s even a space that pays homage to the MV Louise Michel, the high-speed Banksy-funded boat that Banksy financially keeps afloat in the Mediterranean Sea to rescue refugees.

It dates from around 15,000 years ago, so could have walked the land when those very first Paleolithic settlers arrived in Scotland. Britton’s work will establish “if people were around at exactly the same time”. The theory suggested that Buchanan would create pieces of Banksy artwork in cities where the band was performing live.

He is a part of a tradition of artistic subversion reminiscent of those counter-culture posters of the late 1960s' Vietnam War era, and which encompasses the graffiti artists of New York's ghettoes in the 1980s. If animals were migrating from what’s now mainland Europe, across Doggerland and into England and Scotland, then our early settlers probably followed the same route. “We’ve got evidence from stone tools of possible cultural connections to southern Denmark and northern Germany,” Britton says, with artefacts showing distinct similarities. Neanderthals could well have been alive until perhaps 25,000 years ago. It’s not “stupid at all”, says Britton to suggest Neanderthals may have made it to Scotland in this warmer period.The Grupo Marea spokesperson describes the endeavor as “an eclectic homage to rebellious art”. Rebellious though Banksy’s work may be, the artist has recently attempted ( unsuccessfully) to use European Union trademark law to shut down unauthorised usage of his name and images. Asked what Banksy might think of this particular appropriation, the Grupo Marea spokesperson reiterated that it was a tribute to “art in all of its expressions, with references to various trends and artists from a diversity of genres”. The club also includes a light installation evoking Dan Flavin or James Turrell, which doubles as a selfie mirror. A biting critique of mankind’s subjection to capitalist consumerism in the contemporary age, Banksy’s Trolley Hunters was first produced in 2005 for his Barely Legal show. The print depicts three cavemen bearing primitive weapons; in poised, crouched positions, they are shown hunting not for wild animals, but for a herd of supermarket trolleys. The applications come after a European Union court cancelled four trademark applications on Banksy’s work last week. However, what’s still missing are any remains of Palaeolithic humans. We’ve a few of their tools, to prove they were here, but no skulls or skeletons. Britton is now hunting Palaeolithic bones. She’ll use the most sophisticated science available to scour the ground for even the smallest remnants.
