I have to do a report on prehistoric art and I want to do mine on Venus of Willendorf. We have to find one important event in history during this time but I cannot find any specific historic events. Can anyone help?
This is a site on Pagan history:

The Venus of Willendorf has been dated to about 22,000 to 24,000 B.C.E. This was during the Paleolithic times, in prehistoric times long before people could write. This timeline gives you a brief look what was happening about that time period.
50,000-24,000 years ago: Evidence of religious expression found.
47,000-35,000 B.C.: Genetic studies trace the most recent common male ancestor of all humans to this date range. Studies show the female ancestor common to all humans at a few thousand (60,000 entry) years earlier.
35,000-30,000 years ago: Neanderthal hominids cease to exist in Europe and Asia as humans move into these areas (perhaps causing their extinction).
30,000 years ago: First humans possibly reached America. If they did arrive this early, they left little mark and this date is highly debated.
25,000-13,000 years ago: Second Siberian-Alaska land bridge.
