Cro-Magnon

Cro-Magnon cave drawings Cro-Magnon is the name given to the earliest known type of modern man (Homo sapiens sapiens). They existed roughly 45,000 to 10,000 years ago, when they first developed in Asia. Later on, they moved to Europe and after coexisting with the Neanderthals there, eventually forced them into extinction. They are often associated with the Aurignacian culture and were as tall as modern humans with no brow ridges and the "speech gene."
