The Cro Magnon Man

The earliest and the first true man were the cro magnons.It was in south western France that excavations were revealed the remains of cro magnon man.The scientific name given to this speices was homo sapiens,sapiens meant the very wise men.
Like the neanderthals the cro magnon also lived in caves.In Altamira in Spain and Lascaux in France various cave paintings created by these people have been found.
The cro magnons were taller than the neanderthals with about a length of 5 feet.Their skeletons and bones were also like the shape of the modern man.Like the neanderthals these people also knew how to make tools from stones,however their tools were of better qualities.
These people were more intelligent then the neanderthals.They hunted wild animals for food.It is probably that these men came in Europe only after the Ice age.
