Soon you will be writing your informative magazine article about Cro-Magnons. Your article will immerse your readers into our shared prehistoric past. Through your research you will be learning about the hunting and gathering life that was lived by humans for most of our time on earth. The word prehistory means all that occurred before the invention of writing, a recent 5,000 year-old invention. We have learned from fossil evidence that that these Cro-Magnon people had brains that were large and complex like our own. Also left behind for us to ponder are the magnificent paintings of Lascaux and other painted caves discovered in France and Spain. Many beautiful carvings in bone antler and ivory have also survived, as well as flutes, harpoons, needles, and spear-throwers. Your research should focus on the innovations of the Cro-Magnons:such as art, tools, and shelter. |
