Database catalogs geometric signs from 146 French Ice Age caves. 70% of sign types appear by early Aurignacian. Signs repeat consistently over 20,000 years across France. Limited 26 sign types used intentionally, not randomly. No sign appears at every site, showing conscious choices. Signs associate with animal figures, not standalone symbolism. Geometric signs outnumber figurative art 2:1 or more. Early usage pushes symbolic behavior origins before European creative explosion and possibly pre-Africa exodus. Signs appear worldwide including South Africa Blombos 75,000 BP and Australia. Unciform signs debut at Aurignacian Chauvet and persist through Magdalenian. W-signs cluster in southwest France from Aurignacian to Magdalenian. Signs lack syntax or writing structure, but act as ideograms. Repetition implies abstract concepts important to creators. Chauvet provides intact early evidence due to preservation. Typology unifies regional variations despite naming differences. Aurignacian sites suffer most from wall collapse, biasing toward engravings. Expansion planned to Eurasia tripling sites for stronger trends. Similar signs in Spain suggest cross-regional continuity.
