Cro-Magnon Man

Cro-Magnon Man refers to early modern humans (Homo sapiens) that lived approximately 40,000 to 10,000 years ago in Europe. They are considered direct ancestors of present-day humans and are known for their advanced tool use, artistic expression (such as cave paintings), and complex social behaviors. Cro-Magnons had a similar anatomy to modern humans, with a high forehead and rounded skull. Their development marked a significant step in human evolution, showcasing advanced cognitive abilities and cultural practices that laid the groundwork for future human societies.
