Cro-Magnon (lived from 40,000 to 10,000 years ago)
Cro-Magnon
The last species that exist before modern human was "Cro-Magnon". There are fossils found in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Cro-Magnon was basically as modern human.And their brian size was pretty much the same,too. They even had language, maybe not like the language that we are speaking right now, but they can communicate, work together, and pass down their knowledge to their children. The tools and hunting skills were a lot better. If they know how to communicate, then they can plan and organize hunting. Cro-Magnon hunted many big animals to eat like mammoths and tigers.
Their tools were very sharp and detailed for hunting. And because they have tools and a big brain, they left almost nothing to waste. They can use tools to eat all of the meat on the animal and use the skin to make clothes, and using the animal's fat to mix colour for painting.Cro-Magnon lived almost at the end of the Ice Age. However, after they had fire,live durning Ice Age is not that hard. And they used fire to cook, and it's the only source of light at night and keep worm. Cro-Magnon had very pretty clothes and they put decorations on it.They even had dresses for woman and pants for man. They used rock or shells to decorate on their clothes. Cro-Magnon even made necklaces using shells. I think the biggest change from Neanderthal to Cro-Magnon is they Painted! They painted using rocks or animal's fat. Their paintbrush was their fingers and maybe a little pad of fur. Cro-Magnon can use painting to memorize their dairy life and create stories. I think when Cro-Magnon is painting tells me that they had enough food, energy, and time to paint. They don't need to go outside to hunt everyday. They had time to paint and relax.
