Illustration of a female Cro-Magnon skull found in the Dordogne region of southern France in 1868 by excavations supervised by the French geologist and palaeontologist Edouard Lartet (1801-1871). It dates from around 28, 000 years ago. Cro-Magnons were an early European culture of modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens). Lartet's excavations, which also discovered tools and art, showed that modern humans had lived at the same time as extinct mammals, such as rthe woolly mammoth. From Reliquiae Aquitanicae by Edouard Lartet and Henry Christy (1875). | |
