Cro-Magnon

As a kid I was fascinated by the idea of cavemen. Of course, all I had to go on were a few poorly produced movies that depicted cavemen battling dinosaurs, which of course never happened. I even owned an early plastic model of a Cro-Magnon man and woman. To me the Cro-Magnon were indistinguishable from the Neanderthals. As far as I knew they both lived in caves, wore skins of the animals they slaughtered and fought with spears.

Spoiler alert - we really don't refer to them as Cro-Magnon anymore.
