Its a real problem, and often practitioners do see many examples of false faces etc, but the art is usually emblematic and repeated for tens of thousands of years and so dating some of the pieces can even be (hand wavingly) done by including it in a certain time period.

Honestly, as soon as I saw the picture (having been to a few of the caves that are dated 30k+) it really is just immediately obvious that it would be included, there's a ton of examples that look almost exactly like it.
