Homo sapiens Cro-Magnon Discovered on a cliff in 1868 (during the
construction of railway lines in Les-Eyzies, France) Cro-Magnon , meaning
"big cliff", represents the earliest modern humans from western Europe.
Note the large brain capacity and high forehead. Many feel Cro-Magnon is
more similar in appearance to modern Africans than modern Europeans, suggesting
that this population came from Africa or Asia. Size: 8 1/2"L, 6"W, 6 1/4"H
Origin: Les-Eyzies, France Age: 30,000 years old |

This specimen was discovered in 1998 in the Rhine River deposits in Southwest
Germany near Mainz. Since it was dredged from a gravel pit the stratum
can only be assumed: however, the association with Mammuthus, Megaceros
and Equis, as well as the state of mineralization, suggests an age of
at least 10,000 to 30,000 years. It also matches the description of other
Cro-Magnon type hominid fossils from the area. Size: 8"L, 5 3/4"W, 5 3/4"H
