Cro-Magnons

thumb|Skull of Cro-Magnon 1 Cro-Magnons or European early modern humans (EEMH) were the first early modern humans (Homo sapiens) to settle in Europe and Siberia, migrating from Western Asia, continuously occupying the continent possibly from as early as 56,800 years ago. They interacted and interbred with the indigenous Neanderthals (H. neanderthalensis) of Europe and Western Asia, who went extinct 35,000 to 40,000 years ago. Ancient DNA research indicates that the earliest modern humans in Europe during the Initial Upper Paleolithic (~45–40 kya) were part of the broader early expansion of Ho

Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician (LRJ) is a European Upper Palaeolithic culture or technocomplex (industry) dating to the Initial Upper Palaeolithic, about 45,000 years ago. It is characterised by leaf points made on long blades, which were traditionally thought to have been made by the last Neanderthals, although more recently it has been recognised as having been produced by among the first anatomically modern humans in Europe. It is rarely found, but extends across northwest Europe from Wales to Poland.
