cro-magnon

I once read that one of the main difference between cro-magnon (modern human) and neanderthal was that cro-magnon had cave paintings.

And suggest that the Basque language, unrelated to others in Europe, is derived from cro-magnon.

If he's talking about the Cro-Magnon then it's BS again because they largely supplanted the Neanderthals by adapting to the warmer weather better.

The Neanderthals and the Cro-Magnon's had about 1 tennis-ball's volume more brain than we do, on average.

Even monopolistic cro-magnon Microsoft has tried and failed numerous times at getting its installed base to use more profitable tacked on services and products.

The more you learn, the more you recognize that we're still operating on Cro-Magnon brains.

Once Cro-Magnon discovered bow+arrow, he killed off Neanderthals and mammoths.

Jean Auel's The Clan of the Cave Bear book-series explores the possibilities of Neanderthal/Cro-Magnon interaction, but this article brings up a whole new set of intriguing plot twists.

Almost every language has pthread-style cro-magnon concurrency primitives.

A similar thing will have happened with the Cro-Magnons, as they simply expanded and supplanted the Neanderthals, likely the same as Homo Sapiens Sapiens did to the Cro-Magnon.

This might be consistent with the finding that homo sapiens 30,000 years ago (such as those in found in Europe, often called Cro-Magnon) had larger brains that moderns homo sapiens.

It seems that cro-magnon man were likely an early sub-species or tribe which settled across northern Africa, as far out as the Azores, and along what's now the Spanish-France border region.

The term "Cro-Magnon" soon came to be used in a general sense to describe the oldest modern people in Europe.

Also, humans have only been breeding plants and animals for ten thousand years or so; would the consequences of self-replicating entities having heritable traits have been "obvious" to a Cro-Magnon 30,000 years ago?

If Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon did recognize each other with special status, that would be more of an example of the level of equality that would need to functionally exist between two species in order for there to be a real "understanding".

I'm not saying it isn't worth discussing pre-homo sapien speciation at all, I'm saying that the vague idea that the Neanderthals are some "other thing" from our genetic heritage (as compared with, say, Cro-Magnon) has become less tenable as genetic analysis has advanced.

Cro-magnon specifically refer to early human living in Europe, seems fair to make the comparison.
