Cro-Magnons
Approximately 35 000 years ago, cro-magnons, moved into the Neanderthal
region of what is today known as France. Within the time from 35 000 - 10
000 years ago the evolution of art and technological innovations becomes
apparent. Cro-magnons used paints composed from manganese and iron oxides
to paint the walls and ceilings of their caves through-out what is today
called France and Spain. Many of these beautiful paintings
have been preseved and can still be seen. During the seasonal migration
of herds, the Cro-magnons used cunning hunting skills and tools to kill
their prey. They managed to develop extremely advanced tools for hunting
(possibly even a bow and arrow). The Cro-magnon dwelled primarily in caves
or rock shelters in groups. (Wicander and Monroe 1993)
