Reply to comment by ItsABiscuit in How to explain similar symbols/motifs which are found around the world? by aykavalsokec

Yes, imitation indicates they were in contact somehow, which falls into diffusionism.

Sorry, I had a typo, I meant to say ART imitating life. People are fascinated with their junk around the world, so I don't think it's a stretch to say that separate cultures separately developed similar themes in their artwork.
