@futurebird perhaps it is related to our notions of time.
Paintings of antelope on a cave wall were always useful and relevant, because the antelope were always around in that form.
Paintings of human faces on the other hand, capture an ephemeral moment. We age.
We may not have cared about memorializing the past. We were rooted in the present reality.
Or if we cared about memorializing, maybe stone figurines were a more durable and transportable way of doing that.
