1. The cave paintings in the Lascaux cave in France were finished about 16,000 years ago**. They** **cover** a wall over 40 feet long. (zba)

2. The first known **H**omo sapiens are **also** called Cro-Magnons **and were** discovered **by anthropologists** in 1868. **E**vidence from the fossils show**s** **that** Cro-Magnons **were** no different from men and women of today. (wco)

3. Cro-Magnons **were accomplished tool-makers who** developed over one hundred types of tools. **They were responsible for** **one of** the **world's** first technological revolution**s**. (bbr)

4.Today only a very few hunting and **gathering** societies still exist, and even among them modernization has made an impact. (maus)

5. **FYI: Cro-Magnon did not invent fire, although he used it extensively. The first evidence of fire comes from China almost 500,000 years ago and appears to have been invented by a more primitive form of man called Homo erectus.**

6.Cro-Magnons living in cold climates discovered how to make fitted clothes about 23,000 years ago. (aco)

7. Cro-Magnons were migrating people. (aco)

8. Cro-Magnon men hunted for meat, which can be obtained from almost any animal. Women collected edible nuts, roots, leaves, berries, grains and mushrooms. Since women had to pay attention to what they were gathering, a habit of being selective was developed in the female gender. Modern women tend to be more conscious about clothes and their appearance than men are, because of the lifestyle of Cro-Magnons. (jmo) 9.
