In 1868, the French paleontologist Édouard Lartet and his son Louis excavated a shallow cave in southern France. They uncovered five layers of remains, including the skeletons of ancient humans. The skeletons were between 10,000 and 35,000 years old. The skulls and other evidence indicated that the Cro-Magnons (named after a large boulder in the region) were more sophisticated than the Neanderthals, another prehistoric race. In the following selection the Lartets describe what they found. |
