Cro-Magnon 1, an important fossil representing one of the early modern humans, is estimated to be between 32,000 and 30,000 years old. This middle-aged male skeleton was found at the Cro-Magnon site in France along with three other adult skeletons. Scientists believe that he was less than 50 years old at the time of his death.

The Cro-Magnon skull, including Cro-Magnon 1, was discovered in 1868 at the rock shelter site in Cro-Magnon, near Les Eyzies, France. This finding was significant as it was among the first fossils to be identified as belonging to our own species, Homo sapiens.

Some interesting facts about Cro-Magnons include their unique features such as having a prominent chin, a relatively larger brain capacity of about 1,600 cc, and being potentially tall compared to other early human species.

The cave paintings created by Cro-Magnon people in various sites in France and Spain, such as Lascaux and Altamira, are remarkable for their depictions of animals. These paintings are believed to have held magical or ritual significance for the people who created them.

Cro-Magnon people, like Neanderthals, buried their dead and also created some of the earliest known art. They made small engravings, reliefs, and statuettes depicting both humans and animals, showcasing their artistic abilities.

While Cro-Magnons were early modern humans who lived in Europe from around 40,000 to 10,000 years ago, they had specific physical differences from contemporary populations, such as larger brow ridges, wider faces, and larger skulls.
