The Cro-Magnons were an early type of Homo sapiens who lived in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic period, roughly from 40,000 to 10,000 years ago. They are named after the Abri Cro-Magnon, a cave in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Siran, France, where their remains were discovered in 1868. The Cro-Magnons were characterized by their stocky build, prominent foreheads, and robust bones, and are thought to have been the first Homo sapiens to settle in Europe. They were skilled hunters and gatherers, and left behind a legacy of cave art, such as the famous Cave of Lascaux in France. The term "Cro-Magnon" is often used to refer to early modern humans in general, rather than specifically to this particular group.
