Explanation

Cro-Magnon refers to the first early modern humans (Homo sapiens) that lived in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic period. They are anatomically identical to present-day humans and are classified as Homo sapiens sapiens, the subspecies that includes all living humans. Neanderthals (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) were a different, closely related hominid species that coexisted with Cro-Magnon for a time before going extinct.
