The name “Cro-Magnon” inspires images of a snowbound world, mammoth hunting, and eerily alluring cave paintings. But who were these ancient people? In a word, they were us: the first anatomically modern humans. Cro-Magnon reveals human society in its infancy, facing enormous environmental challenges including a rival species of humans, harsh conditions and limited technology. Despite these challenges, which bestselling author Brian Fagan fills with drama, ice age humans survived and thrived to become an unmatched success. In Cro-Magnon, Fagan brings these early humans out of the deep freeze with his trademark mix of erudition, cutting-edge science, and vivid storytelling.
